It is just a new type of replication protocol, which is at the moment 
only supported by OpenLDAP. It is supposed to be more resistant to 
problems which occur after there has been long downtime between 
replicas, and is very suitable for e.g. synchronizing directories for 
offline usage (laptops).

I would certainly like to see a compatible replication protocol between 
OpenLDAP and FDS. I guess this could be implemented as a plugin...
