It's not a loss of brand - it's a new product under the same
brand (IMHO). Calling the packages Samba4 is a good idea for
the reasons Kurt said (IMHO). Samba4 *is* completely different,
that's the point - it *is* a rewrite. We shouldn't try and tell
users it's just a continuation because that's not true, and is
actually the point of the new code.
