The support for integration into a proper domain must be improved on the
distro-side. Even with Samba4 making it trivial to create a domain system it
still requires more client side configurations to make it work and that
should be trivial for end users to accomplish also. Unless that happens then
the whole thing is mute.
-------------------------------

To clarify. It NEEDS to be trivial on the client side to integrate into a
domain. It is currently not trivial at all for the most part on the Linux
client side of things. "Should be trivial" was too vague in that context.
