Possibly; but they'll always be, if nobody tests them.
To be clear, I'm not blaming you, but I think moving default to a new
version would be a "gentle invite" to people to move on and report any
failure. (And it would be better than keeping a "latest-8" version, that
was abandoned upstream some years ago).
We still carry a lot of patches in more recent versions, have there been
or are there any attempts of upstreaming?
I don't know.
I find it somehow hard to work with upstream, but that's probably me.
To clarify, ksmbd apart from being tied to the Linux kernel focuses on
file transferring (and performance but I think that would be secondary
in our case at least initially), which probably is what most use it for
including myself without the other functionality.
I'd be happy to see ksmbd coming (although I don't think it will happen
any time soon), but that wouldn't fit all my needs alone (as I also use
Samba for AD DC and PAM authentication); so it wouldn't replace Samba.
