And that problem is entirely due to running "bleeding edge" software - a new patch/feature urgently requested to be in EL6.6 that we didn't completely backport to epel6. If you were running the standard 389-ds-base in EL6.5 you would not have seen this issue. The 389-ds-base in epel6 contains patches intended for EL6.6 but which have not yet been fully tested. The only way you could get into a real bind is if you have run into an issue due to be fixed in EL6.6 that you urgently need and can't wait for it to be released through the usual EL6.6 channels.
