[Samba] Samba documentation team

Hi Jonathan,

The NT4 docs are mostly completed. 
I'm not sure why we should remove it as the code or the function are still there.  

I believes that docs should include everything even that is a temporary. hack or patch. As that patch might be a round for a long long time. 

Docs removal should only be done as flagged.
Beta--> active-->Obsolete --> deprecated. 

Also, we have not move the default to SMB2 yet. Our max client are still default to nt1.

We are on the way. 

But we need to kept it. 

Thank you. 


Regards, 
Chan Min Wai

For all we know Microsoft may (and really should) pull it completely from the next version of Windows.
