Makes sense to me - especially as we are about to move the bugs database
off that machine. 

(Longer term the plan is to more or all the databases to drawable, but
we probably want it to settle with the bugs database first.)

We moved LDAP from button to label originally only because at that point
label was our only RHEL5 system.

What it would be good to do for the transition is:

 - Put button into puppet
 - Make ldap into a puppet module

Neither should be hard to do - the mysql module is already in good shape
and that's the only other custom service we run on button. I can provide
assistance, especially if the person I'm assisting is willing to
transform that assistance into docs onto the wiki.
