What is the conflict here?

To support existing clients, just ensure you don't error on
schemaUpdateNow.  All that needs to happen is to have updated the schema
by the time that returns - it will happen on a timer anyway, so if it
happen to already have occurred (because it is actually done real-time)
what is the harm?

schemaUpdateNow should be used to trigger all the other users of the
schema to reload. (Possibly easier if the LDAP server remains a single
process).
