thanks for your feedback, Andrew.

I definitely need developers that go through the bug reports and comment
whether these need to be addressed before the final release or are
blockers for 4.2 (see bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10077).

I am working on the missing documentation issues.

There are only 3 weeks left, that means 2 weeks left until the release
branch will be frozen...

Thanks!

Cheers,
Karolin
