The distinction is "modern" vs. "historic" - OpenLDAP 2.2 was moved to 
Historic status in January 2006. The original poster referenced 2.2.6,  
which was released February 2004. By any measure, in computer terms, 
that is ancient. When a release is declared Historic that means, among 
other things, that it will no longer be supported by the project - bug 
reports against them are not investigated, bug fixes for newer versions 
are not back-ported, etc.
