Actually, it was.
With Samba 4.0 we were trying to move our defaults to long-term match
FHS styles (like the similar change with etc/smb.conf). The lock
directory contains files that do not need to survive a restart, so it is
safe.
However, the default state directory is unchanged, because it does
contain long-term tdb files we really do not wish to re-create.
