Remember the cardinal rule of engineering: "Fast, Good, Cheap. Choose any two." Also, the Ubuntu folks don't write or maintain Samba. The people to complain to would be Samba.org You REALLY don't want companies to go off and write their own SMB stacks. We had the misfortune of buying a cheap SAN (Nexenta - based) just as Apple released 10.7 (with, yes, their completely re-written SMB stack. At least it adheres to standards, unlike Nexenta's rewritten version of Samba..to the point that for three months Macs were unable to connect to our servers if they were running 10.7. Even now, Macs cannot connect to this system via DFS.) Thankfully we just replaced the old one with a new one (that cost a LOT more money...remember 'Good, Fast, Cheap') that actually works as expected.
