I think Andrew alludes to the point that no Samba AD user/developer took
enough effort to submit a patch that would allow samba-tool to deploy
Samba AD with vfs_zfsacl or vfs_gpfs modules.
I don't think this is a problem with implementation of those modules, it
is rather our problem with general lack of contributions to the Samba AD
code base from outside of the team.
