There is no such version.  2.2.6 is an (ancient) version of OpenLDAP, 
though.  Not sure what the trailing part means.

hdb

The question is not well posed.  Even though earlier versions could have 
supported it (my memory can't go that far), you definitely won't use 
anything older than the latest 2.3.  Personally, I wouldn't use anything 
older than the latest 2.4.

It is a good idea if you need that functionality.  All other overlays 
should be good ideas if you need the functionality(ies) they implement. 
 Your question is not well posed in order to get an adequate answer.
