I want to apologize for the above comment. It is much more negative
sounding than I had intended when I sent it off without double-checking it.
I agree with Steve that SMB2 is much better than SMB, and better than many
other alternatives. The improved communication with Microsoft that
third-party developers have seen over the past three years or so will, I
hope, go a long way toward keeping it clean and avoiding the build-up of
obsolescent commands and subcommands that SMB experienced.
Now, if we could just get a little momentum behind the UNIXSMB2 effort...

I'll still do this. We have a fresh generation coming up, and I think
that's something to encourage.
