I wouldn't do that. Surely we will have our focus on AD documentation, 
but Samba is still providing the feature for NT4 domains in maintained 
versions. So it should be documented, too.

There are many real NT4 servers out there. And they all have a reason, 
why they still exist. And using a maintained Samba version for providing 
the domain is surely the better idea, as it is maintained and security 
issues are fixed.
