I'm not him, but since you asked...

Yes, we want the buffering be as if ldapsearch was invoked from a
terminal.  Possibly also other features, but I don't know enough about
the program to tell.

Basically, if the program was written for interactive invocation
communicating through pty is always better.

If they get in the way, it's another bug, which needs to be analyzed
and solved.  It could be (although IMO improbable) that we decide to
go back to pipes, but then we will know why we did that, and we should
leave behind a comment with the explanation.

Right.
