Here are Andrew Bartlett's own words on this in a response to a query on LWN 
after Samba 4's release:

https://lwn.net/Articles/529321/

# The there are three ways out of this difficult situation
# - continue to use Samba as a 'classic' domain controller as-is using
# smbd/nmbd (this code remains and remains supported).
# - Add schema extensions to our LDAP server (disabled by default, but
# supported), and cope with the AD-specified layout restrictions. 
# - Somehow sync Samba with an existing LDAP server.

it's worth reading the full comment for more on the background.

All the best,
Chris
