LDAP futures

So does http://directory.apache.org/ mean that soon we'll be able to 
stop using OpenLDAP, Microsoft, and/or iPlanet LDAP SDKs to build 
mod_auth_ldap?

Also, does http://penrose.safehaus.org/ mean that we'll have a free 
means of making multiple LDAPs look like one (for use with Apache 2.0.x 
and 1.3.x which don't support multiple AAA providers for a single resource)?

My understanding is no - the SDKs are client libraries, while 
directory.apache.org is an LDAP server.

You will be able to use mod_auth_ldap (plus OpenLDAP/MS/iPlanet) to 
connect Apache DS.

Very likely yes.
