Zahari, 

I've not removed it from the wiki.  I've just put it on it's own page.

Please don't take offence, but no matter how good the tool is, it does
not belong in what we are trying to make our 'shortest form'
instructions.  Indeed, they should probably be made shorter, not
longer. 

We do need pages of further resources, describing how all sorts of
different tools will help with validating and administering a Samba4
deployment.
