I agree with John. Historically things have moved to the base system 
when they
have reached some amount of public use, and they have been needed for a 
large number
of othre parts.. e.g. SSL.

I think that LDAP has reached this point (in fact did so many several 
years ago)
and having a standard ldap implementation in the base system allows us 
to make
FreeBSD machien splay better in many environments.

It can always be removed for 'small' systems but I think that having the 
ability to exist in
ldap envrinments by default is getting more and more important.
