Well.....I'm neutral on Samba 4's management interface
most because I don't currently work on that branch.
So it's really up to the Samba 4 folks what they choose
to do.

Funny you mention this.  We're working on a new administrative
logging system for Samba that would allow admins to better parse
interesting information from either syslog or via the Windows
event log API.  Caleb Jorden (an intern at IBM) proposed some
ways to do this earlier this week on Samba-technical.
