Yes, absolutely, I just fear those people who have this irrational  
urge to upgrade just for upgrading's sake if something new is  
released, and a lot of them don't like answers such as "If you're on  
OL 2.0.27, please use python-ldap versions <= 2.0.10 because the  
newest versions won't run against your antique OpenLDAP". :P
