I absolutely agree that it is not ready currently to release as a CentOS
product.  Especially since the Fedora version is free and works exactly
as advertised on CentOS if following their instructions to build.

What I would like to release is the RH Directory Services if/when they
release the code.

Is anyone noticing a pattern here (RH Directory Server, RHWAS, no source
code that works) :(
