Well if you think back, at least as I recall (and I do have a very
foggy memory), the last point release of Panther made several
changes to Directory Services, specifically LDAP in terms of
structure that were required for migration. As these changes would
be in motion at the moment, should we presume that there will be a
OS X 10.4.11 (hint: those who know can't say for certain but can
at least extrapolate from past OS releases) for similar reasons,
and since those changes might not be committed in code (say b/c OS
X 10.4.11 is still only a candidate release) and also given that
docs tend to get written later rather than sooner in the scheme of
releases, well...
The more I think about this, the more sense it makes. If they're
dumping NetInfo entirely in Leopard
Which they have stated and prepared you for since Jaguar...
and if they hope to have Panther and Tiger systems tie into a
Leopard-driven OD system,
Now you're stretching it... Panther? Ghods can't we get over that? It
can't even do modern LDAP. Did you read the current Leopard doc set?
I can see how they may have some tweaking yet to do. Not to mention
all the other legacy hooks that will have very different servers in
10.5 (iCal, iChat... even Mail, I suppose).
Well you can bet that those in 10.5 are ironed out. However any
future releases to Tiger don't yet have an announced date, though we
may guess ;)

If you are planning to migrate on Oct 26th you are foolhardy.
Production migration, suicidal or
But I would much prefer they get it right then that they get it
done, so I'll just try to be more patient.
Well you should at least be patient enough to actually /have/ a
product to bicker about. You're lucky there are any docs released
already. Complaining that the whole doc set isn't there is like
complaining there's no Users Guide for the Manned Mars Lander.
