[Samba] markedly fewer objects in dbcheck after upgrade to 4.12.1 from 4.11.6

[ray klassen]

 ok reporting on myself. stupid user problem (me) 'samba-tool dbcheck' yields a different number of objects than 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs' Big surprise there. Guess I was end-of-the-week tired or something

  well this one got crickets. after a week, it appears there was no call for alarm. Please notify me how I mis-read the release notes. I just don't remember anything about reducing number of database objects. At any rate I am posting this as a note to anyone else who finds the same thing.

 Recently upgraded my 3 dc's to samba 4.12.1 

as part of the install ran dbcheck --cross-ncs on each dc after make install
first dc dbcheck reported 5474 objectssecond dc reported 5476 objects
last dc (the one with all the fsmo roles, etc.)  reported 1406 objects! 

now all of them report 1406 objects. (drs replication obviously)
ADUC, DNS, GPO manager all seem to have the requisite data. I THINK all the users and computers are there.
but that reduction is worrisome. Was it all cruft? I have no way of knowing. 

Some reassurance or alarm would help.
