It is interesting. I also see Samba 3.x, not Samba 4.x. *Rats*. I was
hoping for built-in Active Directory server replacements: guess I'll
be rebundling the work I've done backporting Samba 4.0.7 to RHEL 6.
And the slides don't say anything about the migration from SysV init
scripts to systemd: that is going to be a *serious* adventure for
3rd-party open source components, like EPEL and Repoforge and atrpms.
