I'm tinkering with new schema as well as including the standard 
eduPerson and was hoping to avoid having to strip out all the data and 
then repopulate each time I make a minor change to the schema. I'm 
populating it from a large Active Directory by script, which already has 
quite a long run time.

But I don't have any users in the directory at all yet, which is why I 
was a bit surprised at the behaviour. I thought at least adding new 
users with a new schema wouldn't be a problem.  I guess if that is out 
the next thing I need to check is what happens if I add a new 'may' 
field to an existing schema -  will it force me to drop all the old data 
to install that, too.
