I like the idea of chaining. If done carefully, you could place a still-refreshing syncrepl consumer into a production rotation (i.e. it could always appear to have full data). Currently, we use a bit of a hack (slapd -h ldapi://slapdloading until the CSNs coalesce) so that our networking infrastructure doesn't see 389/636 before the consumer is 'ready'. This could eliminate the need for that.
