Release Samba4 alpha6 without full schema?

[Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer]

Hi all!

I think that we are on a stable-enough stage for another alpha of SAMBA 
4. The schema patch requires more work and more testing; this is true. 
Also, I considered my message written in September 2008 and discovered 
that nearly all requests have been satisfied.
