There was someone ( Armin ) on this thread that responded this had 
already been applied upstream since last summer which inconsistent with 
the current status of the bug in your tracker and your response and I 
think it's safe to assume you know better anyway you are aware of what's 
about to take place and need to adjust accordingly as do rest of 
downstreams that still might be using/relying on this although ( thus 
far ) samba seems to be the only affected by this change.
