[Users] Zimbra 8.7.0 Upgrade Concerns Expanded

[L. Mark Stone]

My understanding is that the regression introduced in OpenLDAP responsible for this out-of-sync issue was made after the version of OpenLDAP shipped in 8.6.0, including patches. 

Quanah has commented on the ITS referenced in Bugzilla, and when I read through his postings in the ITS it didn't look to me like 8.6.0 is impacted. I could very well be wrong (wouldn't be the first time!) but would be grateful to understand why you believe 8.6.0 would be impacted please. 

Thanks! 
Mark
