Re: Schema structure checking

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

I note that the HEAD code is designed such that each entry must
have a single structural object class, per X.501, for things to
work right.  Things will break without this (such as the remaining
schema checks).  The side effects of your change are more
significant than I think you realize.

We currently also require the structural class of an entry not
to change.  This is because changing applicable content rule,
structure rule and name forms makes little sense.  However, it
seems possible that the server could work properly whilst allowing
such changes (at least in current HEAD).
