I think that might also partly stem from the fact that that
this kind of troubleshooting/support is extremely difficult

Interactive support via Irc / chat / voice / shared screen/tmux

And there the RPMs by SerNet if you don't
want to go with the distro versions.

#ctdb (and/or #samba-technical) channel
and do stuff interactively.
