Yes, this is well known and is what the question was all about, are you using
RHEL/Centos 6 now and planning to upgrade to version 7 before
September ?

The last part of that statement is plainly not correct, the 'GNU/Linux'
part that is. It is available on Debian, which, last time I looked, was
a 'GNU/Linux' distribution, it should be 'Red-Hat/Linux distribution'

This is in the hands of the Red-Hat guys mainly, but 4.6 isn't out yet
and the question isn't if Samba 4.7 will support MIT, but will
RHEL/Centos 7 support an AD DC when Samba releases a version that
supports MIT
