For the sake of having the opposing viewpoint represented, I'm opposed
to importing more of this stuff into the base. Given that it works just
fine as it is, the benefits of importing it would have to overwhelmingly
compensate for the negatives of having to keep them up to date in the base.

Taking ldap as an example, the subset of our users who need this
functionality are already able to get it from the ports tree, where it
is easier to keep up to date across multiple FreeBSD versions.
