One important advantage about "security = share" is to set both
read-only password and read-write password to each shares.

Some users still use "security = share" for this purpose.

The mapping will only confuse people, I think.
If you decide to remove "security = share", simply to  remove is the best.

To remove "security = share" is a big change, so I wish not to remove
it in 3.x release for SMB1, too.

For SMB2, I agree with you.

P.S.
Also I am afraid of NT4-style DC support.
