Normally I comment everything and describe for which requirement in the concept the ACLs, constraints, etc. are for. Also the schema with X-ORDERED is cumbersome. There's no LDAP client which really supports it. You have to do too much manually.
All of the X-ORDERED stuff can be ignored in the general case. If you find it cumbersome, you're doing something wrong. Obviously the ldapmodify commandline tool supports it.
There's no mechanism like include.
False. OpenLDAP's LDIF library supports include directives, and they're used frequently in the test suite. The include statement has been documented in the ldif(5) manpage since 2006.
You're blaming the tools when it's your own ignorance at fault.
