I agree with global_schemacheck. Not sure which LASTMOD flag you're 
referring to, or what the problem there is.

re: schema checking, we currently disable it on backends for sparse 
replication reasons (proxycache, syncrepl). I think we could make this a 
little more granular; probably if we only skip the test for required 
attributes (to allow sparse/partial entries) everything else would still 
work.
