Indeed.
I started looking at the list of blocker bugs.
Some of them might even be sufficient for 4.0.X (X>0),
especially those about replication.

I somehow missed the initial mentioning of a "white paper".
I guess this would be a document to describe what the supported
setups for samba 4.0 (as an AD-DC) are? I have started a wiki
page so that we can develop the paper there and later put it down
at some static place:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.0_Whitepaper

I didn't manage to put more than an introductory note yet,
but stuff should follow. Please chime in, Matthieue and others!

Cheers - Michael
