At the present time none of the main-stream/commercial (Rh/Centos, OpenSuse/Sles . . .) distributions is packaged with Samba 4.

I wouldn't say that.   It is on my todo list.   Samba 4 is backward compatible with Samba 3, so it wouldn't take much work to move SME to Samba 4 and leave the existing config largely intact.  I think this is actually a good route to go as we won't break anything, but we set ourselves up with a platform for future expansion.

That's not correct.  Centos ships with both:  http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/6.5/os/x86_64/Packages/ 

Our competition, ClearOS and Zyntyal, both install Samba 4 in the default install. 

We need to be going to Samba 4 as a project sooner rather than later.

We need to be going to Samba 4 as a project sooner rather than later.

So we need an open bug in the bug tracker, and someone analyzing what needs to be done to achieve that.

Bug 8075 added per Charlie's suggestion
