Samba+ACLs, CURRENT or STABLE?

Hi all,

I plan to setup a Samba fileserver with ACLs as a Windows domain 
controller. First I tried with Linux, but I am afraid ACLs are not 
wonderfully supported by it (you have to patch some core tools etc.).

So I thougt I try it with FreeBSD. 5.x seems good for this task, since it 
supports ACLs "out of the box". Now my problem is, that I want to use this 
server in a production environment, but on freebsd.org I see CURRENT 
should not be used for such machines.

So my question, what to do now? Are ACLs for Samba supported on STABLE as 
well, or is it safe to use CURRENT?

Greetings and TIA, Matthias
