I was under the impression that Samba4 would be the next version of Samba. 
After reading this discussion, it almost sounds like there will be 2 
different kinds of Samba:

   Samba Active Directory Services - Samba4
   Samba File and Print Services - Samba3

I don't care either way so long as they are both maintained, but was that 
the intention?  :)
