I appreciate the amount of work that has gone into making that happen. The
problem is that there are times when a DC is not the goal. If even a
fraction of the time had gone into documenting and testing for making the
Member Server work I could have saved several days.

While that is true, there are people stuck on 3.x (lots of active
discussions about dd-wrt/optware instances in other forums), so getting rid
of documentation is not the right answer. All that will do is create
confusion when new syntax and commands don't work on the old implementation.
If there is no samba 4 book in the works, the wiki needs to be clear about
the differences.
