I don't know that there's any technical reason it's not possible, they're
just different open source projects with different goals - just as
Samba could be extended to speak NFS protocol as well as CIFS, but the
teams involved aren't likely to do so, and we shouldn't fork them to force
a merge that no one else has done.
