Hi, whilst I cannot speak for the devs, 3.6 went EOL on 2015-03-04 and 
it *may* get updates for a CVE, but I wouldn't bank on it.

I cannot understand you saying that you can't 'migrate' yet, what is 
wrong with upgrading Samba ? Samba 4 can do everything that 3.6 can, 
there may have to be slight modifications to smb.conf but it should work 
(unless you are running samba in a weird way).

It may help if you posted a sanitized version of your present smb.conf
