What to do with test058?

Hi,

I wonder how we should go forward with test058-syncrepl-asymmetric. If I 
understand the test (and the comments in syncrepl.c) correctly the setup 
it is testing is unsupported in slapd, am I right? (Which is the reason 
why test failures are ignored currently, I guess)

On the provider the syncprov overlay is setup for the glued database and 
the consumer's syncrepl clients (also glued) are configured on the 
individual child databases. Additionally the consumers have configure the 
the syncprov overlay also of the topmost database. AFAICS all of the 
failures that test058 reports are related to this unsupported config.

Is anybody planning to work on adding support for such a setup. Or should 
we just rework the test to a supported scenario (or even remove it 
completely)?
