Not like it is likely (as merging these 2 Domains will likely keep them busy enough), but it is likely the best chance we can get. I find the timing a little ironic however as I am learning how to do things right with the “Golden Triangle” where AD merely does the authentication and OD does all the grunt work of setting access permissions and all that jazz — and I am fine to leave things this way. So in some ways as long as things do not get messed up with how things are, I really see no need for adding anything. All I really want from AD are the users credentials, what groups they are in, what OUs machines are in and where their network home folder (n drive) is.
