Next stable version of Samba.

I think in effect what's happened is that the development roadmap has
changed.  The general expectation a while back (when that text was probably
written) would be that the next non-2.0 version would have all of the PDC
goodies and whatnot.  But, that's not really feasible at the moment, and
there are enough new changes to warrant a 2.2 release, I think.

So, the book made predictions about Samba development based on the roadmap
at the time, only the roadmap's changed now.  It happens.

*shrug*

I think we're basically just going to have to tell the newbies asking about
this that the roadmap has changed somewhat since the book was written.
