Er, somehow I must have missed that discussion and the agreement. :-)

For 3.4 we decided to leave it included.

For 3.5 I just noticed your mail where you asked that the
source4 tree should not be advertised in the release or even removed
from the sources. That mail has somehow slipped my attention.
But I have not seen any answer to that mail yet.
I really don't mind discussing it again at all, but claiming that we
already agreed seems a bit daring to me.  ,-)

Note that the merged build is disabled by default in the 3.5 branch.
Also, the presence of the source4 tree is not advertised at all.

The samba4-build is not possible in 3.5. But the presence of the
source4-tree gives the user a means to easily build a smbtorture4
and to play a bit with the merged build. I don't know what's so
bad about it.

Cheers - Michael
