Is any of the above documented anywhere, if it is, I must have missed it.

So, from what I have read on the Samba forums about Samba4:

A) do not use s3fs -- it is not ready yet
B) do not use nmbd -- again it is not ready yet
C) only use ntvfs if you are upgrading -- it is outdated

Bearing this in mind and as a user, I do not think this software is 
anywhere near RC status, mind you, this is just my opinion.
