I'm not sure that's true.
In my directory I have principals stored inside account objects.  For
example I have uid=hartmans,ou=users,dc=painless-security,dc=com.
I really want the principal to stay there even if I rename it.
If I'm also renaming the account I'll do that with an ldap operation and
that will rename the object.  Yes, the principal also needs to get
renamed, but I'd be really annoyed if renaming a principal moved a
principal contained in an account object out of that object.
