Maybe you should start by not highjacking threads ?

Concerning schema, things hasn't changed much yet since I post this email:

I should remind that not a lot of persons are paid to work on samba4 and 
so we do a best effort, the best way to get a feature in is to start to 
do it on your own.
Up to the moment you'll start doing this you have to wait for someone 
else to do it and be patient and silent, the second solution is not very 
complicated and basically require just knowledge in Python, the time you 
spend on whimpering could be much more efficiently spent on trying to 
solve the problem.
