Or you mean I was saying the same thing then that I am now?

The only thing the Proprietary LDAP solution gets you is a Monthly Support Bill, and some people feel better paying for support, even if it doesn't work well.

The rigth channels used in the LDAP mailing lists typically get you faster and better responses than the support for $COMPANY.BTW, get claims of performance for the product (if $YOUR_EMPLOYER chooses to buy it) in writing and that it is based on your model or usage. That way when it PUKES and you have a parallel implemetation of OpenLDAP you can get all your money back plus some.
