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.
