Why say you need to do this and that and then turn round and basically 
say 'but you can't do that anyway' ?

Please note that I am only running the samba daemon on the server, I 
only turned nmbd on to try it, it seems to work.

Also why does ' [ANNOUNCE] Samba 4.0 beta6' have the following two stanzas:

Samba 4.0 beta ships with two distinct file servers.  We now use the
file server from the Samba 3.x series 'smbd' for all file serving by
default.  For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect
from that series (nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.

  There is no NetBIOS browsing support (network neighbourhood) in the
   'samba' binary (use nmbd and smbd instead)

Samba is saying in ' [ANNOUNCE] Samba 4.0 beta6' that smdb,nmbd & 
winbindd are available for use, and then saying on the forums that you 
should not use them. Which is correct and why, please give the answer in 
terms that a normal user can understand, not developer speak, I do not 
fully understand developer speak.
