Unfortunately this gives us two components that need to be
supported and maintained, and for the file server this is
too big a job.

We need to convert to SMB2 asap, and focus all our efforts
on one code base. Like it or not, the s3 file server code
is that code base.

Trying to maintain two file servers is not a viable path
for the project.

I'm not saying delete the ntvfs/ code, just that we should
never ship a 4.0 with that code enabled. This is too big
a job for our small team.
