Given the fact I can't remember why I did it, I suppose it was not so
important. The fact it is only in SAMBA_3_0 is indicative I didn't feel
comfortable putting it in the release branch for some reason.

If it was something we really needed, it will resurface and next time I
hope I will give a better log message :/
