Requesting a specific version is pointless. What if 3.5 is stable alredady?

What if 2.6.0 isn't out yet?

Look in contrib (you obviously don't read the changelog list). Look on
ftp.samba.org in 12 hours, or http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake now
(such as http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/9.1/samba-3.0.0/)

The majority of these issues have nothing to do with Mandrake, but the
release schedule of the other projects. If you want kernel-2.6.0, go out
and help fix it so it's out in time.

I could request samba4, but that's not going to mean anoyone is going to
do anything about it or take me seriously.

Instead of discussing version numbers, maybe you would like to discuss
things we actually have control over?
