Hi!

At this stage, I wonder if we should continue waiting
for the python mess, or can just go and use this mess
for our advantage, treating current unstable like some
sort of experimental but with much larger audience.. :)

I don't see a way for python-defaults to migrate any time
soon, many things are waiting there.  All samba-related
packages are okay, either current or new. So we maybe can
upload the thing to let people to try it out... and fix
any reported issue, if any, before whole thing is migrated.

Not sure it is fair, but heck..

Louis, I think it is okay for you to make the packages
available on your site if you want to. I hope anyway, -
I see no obvious issues in there.

For older systems which needs updates for tdb/talloc/tevent, -
I think we can even make it conditional and build just
everything from samba source directly, in a way similar
to how ldb is built. Once we learned how to do that, it
become easy.  I don't know if it's a good idea doing
in general, though.
