In the case of Whimsy, which writes to LDAP, it could be switched over to 
ldap-master.a.o. IIRC it currently uses the servers in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf. 
Sometime in the somewhat near future (month-scale,) the -ro- servers will be 
switched to read-only, with ldap-master being the write master. This has the 
main benefit of centralizing the LDAP access logging, which can’t otherwise 
(easily) be replicated between multi-masters. I do intend to provide a method 
in puppet which sets servers known to write to LDAP (id.a.o for example) to 
ldap-master in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, so you could also wait for that change.

In the case of Whimsy, switching to ldap-master has the added benefit of 
keeping Whimsy’s LDAP traffic local to AWS EC2, as they are currently both in 
the same AZ.

The LDAP ACL changes will be announced ahead of time, of course, this is just a 
heads up that could give you some additional performance benefits as well as 
future-proofing if you’re inclined to implement.
