Ok, fine by me.

I don't think we can do that. It allows people to move
to SMB2 simply by adding "max protocol = SMB2" and no
other changes. Remember we'll probably end up making
"max protocol = SMB2" the default, so we need to ensure
that existing smb.conf files will upgrade and work
without change.
What is the problem with the mapping ? We already
had a bug report because it wasn't done completely
(and someone using security=share wanted to test
SMB2). I don't see why having the mapping causes a
problem.
