I agree with you in that it should be documented.  It is stated as a 
design issue to put them together (in bugzirra), but then I would 
consider that leaving the ability to change the ou is a bug in the 
program, or that not stating that you need to keep them in the same 
place as a bug in the documentation.  After a quick scan (since I have 
yet to read it fully) of the ... By Example book, I noticed a couple of 
places where users suffix is specified but computers suffix is not.  
That's one way around the problem.
