Matthieu,

I'm confused.  How can we start to tackle all our blocking bugs for 4.0
before the RC and a do an RC before SDC?

To be clear:  I don't have time for any of the bugs attached as blockers
there so far, and don't expect that situation to improve in the next
month.   (I'm still swamped by trying to keep on top of the various
things reported on the list daily and the remaining s3fs issues). 

I appreciate your offer to find time to work on this, but I also think
we need to be much more realistic about what we can actually achieve. 

All that said, I agree it would be useful to start on a document
explaining how Samba 4.0 and it's components fits into Samba's release
stream.  Perhaps this is something concrete you can start on?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
