I understand.

I would however like to make a final note about Linux to Linux samba use - at least in a home network.

If the server is running Ubuntu 17.10 or later ( with avahi-daemon installed ) this bug is not relevant because the samba client isn't using gvfsd-smb-browse. The sever automatically publishes its presence with the default "multicast dns register = yes" parameter in samba. All Linux machines as well as any MacOS box will see the host automatically using Avahi / Bonjour under "Other Locations" directly without having to go through Windows Network.

Under these conditions the client can use SMB3 to connect not SMB1 because gvfsd-smb-browse isn't getting in the way.
