[ApacheDS Schema] renaming ou=schema partiton

[Kiran Ayyagari <ay...@gmail.com>]

hello guys,

       While talking to Emmanuel on IRC, we thought about replacing the content of the ou=schema partition with
       what cn=schema holds(all schema objects) and renaming the partition to cn=schema.

       This change IMO will make things more clear, e.x having the partition name same as the SSSE name.

       wdyt?

Ok, after a short discussion with Alex, it seems that it will violate a 
LDAP rule : a subentry cannot have a child.

So merging cn=schema and ou=schema will not be possible...

The implication are not that complex to handle on the server. Right now, 
the cn=schema subschema subentry, which is a mandatory element to have, 
is generated from the registries content. It has no existence per se. On 
the other hand, the ou=schema is a real entry and is also the 
contextEntry of the schema partition (which naming context is ou=schema).

Merging both will imply that this element will be completed before being 
returned when a client do a search operation.
