No, for Samba if you have a reproducible problem a bug report is
*essential*. Reporting on the list is useful, but easliy ignored.

A bug reported set to a high priority is *always* responded to
before any code is released. Even if it's to set to a lower priority
and mark as "known problem" - you'll get a response.

No such guarentees for the list.
