I'd kill the swat concept completely.
We are much better of providing an API to let people that understand
better than us how do build UIs to do basic configuration steps like.

Ideally it would provide high level functions like: "make this server a
Domain Controller" or "join this server to this domain as member|dc".

we have some of this in samba 3.2 libnet/libsmbconf it would be nice to
design a consistent interface for samba4

Simo.
