We are fine applying individual patches to Samba if it is urgent. The last 
time I've asked if it can wait till I do a release. We never set it as a hard 
rule and we fixed issues in Samba before without doing a release of a wrapper.

We can continue arguing here for the next weeks but this will not get the 
patches in ...

Good engineering practice would be to *NOT* have them in the Samba source 
tree! But I think we disagree on that ...
