Recently I have noticed a large increase in people using apis of lib389 that should not be used. Due to the nature of python, it's really just plain hard to discourage people from using these.
Right now, we are currently sitting on a really weird tech-debt of how DirSrv is designed. To fix this will be a large effort, but step one is to create behaviours that teach people not to use this.
Specifically, this will target:
There however, must be an "escape" hatch to allow lib389 internal to use these without penalty.
I can't continue to blame people for doing the wrong thing, where our library plainy allows itself to be used incorrectly. We need our library to prevent at an api level, incorrect usage.
