If it is planned to have libpam-smbpass removed from 16.04, shouldn't there be a change in nautilus-share as well so only guest access authentication is possible? Right now it might be rather confusing to share a folder and it just won't work unless you configure samba manually, and if you are comfortable with that then maybe nautilus-share isn't even necessary.
