This is a question you must ask the distriburion vendors. :-)

Most distributions use MIT Kerberos, while Samba earlier than 4.7 only
supported Heimdal Kerberos.

Samba 4.7 will support the MIT KDC, and during the time, distribution
vendors will start providing Samba packages with AD DC capabilities.

Fedora 27 [1] will be shipped with a "samba-dc" package that provides
Samba AD DC support based on Samba 4.7 and MIT Kerberos.

Regards,
Marc
