And I meant no implication otherwise: the Samba folks don't speak for
Samba-TNG either!  I simply meant to illustrate my point with a concrete
example about the splitting of the apps from the main tarball.

I'm also not saying such bundling is bad: the Samba Team could be
accused of the same bundling, and each project has it's reasons for
their distribution structure, but I find this discussion interesting and
the possible outcomes quite useful to my particular corner case.
