I understand the reasoning behind shipping the current GNOME version.
I think that the frustration about this bug results from the fact that we "some samba users" are often early adapters in former Windows-only environments, and these regressions make our position often very difficult. It is hard to argue for a more diverse IT landscape when basic interoperability just stops working.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this issue to go away, and I think we are all fully aware of and grateful for the effort that developers and volunteers put into Ubuntu and upstream projects every day.
