Unfortunately, Samba3 became so big and hairy, that fixing one problem
there creates few new. So, for the last ~10 releases this was pretty
common situation when erratra release was following very quickly.

I want people to have something stable to work with, when new features
may wait. Possibly, both samba3 and samba3-devel will have same ports
in majority of the time, but not always.
