I think I answered that - because the X.500 refinement mechanism
is too complex to be easily understood, configured, or implemented,
much less managed.  A profile of a simpler thing is needed for many
applications.

Then why are we wasting our time with LDAPsubentries?
X.500 subentries provides a sound approach, an approach
proven to work for holding subschema, ACIs, and collective
attributes.  We certainly don't need an second approach,
especially one which is inconsistent with the X.500 data
model which implementations "MUST act in accordance with."
