The Feodra team has posted a set of 28 features for the upcoming Fedora 7 release, of which the biggest is this: "Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires."

I think they got rid of that horrible ldbm backend.
I wasn't aware that there was any ldbm back end. RHDS is the former Netscape Directory Server remember, and is not related to OpenLDAP in any way.
I'd actually just prefer some really good GUI admin tools for OpenLDAP, to farm out tasks to junior LDAP admins.
So would a lot of people, but unfortunately Red Hat don't have, and aren't using, the development tools needed to produce those quality administration tools. Unfortunately, if you want any decent GUI tools then you're just going to have to use RHDS, which comes with the Java GUI tools it's always had.
It really is imperative though that Linux as a whole gets a good LDAP directory server back end in order to make available the things that are so easy in the Windows world.
