+Samba4 alpha4 is not a final Samba release.  That is more a reference
+to Samba4's lack of the features we expect you will need than a
+statement of code quality, but clearly it hasn't seen a broad
+deployment yet.  If you were to upgrade Samba3 (or indeed Windows) to
+Samba4, you would find many things work, but that other key features
+you may have relied on simply are not there yet.
+
+For example, while Samba 3.0 is an excellent member of a Active
+Directory domain, Samba4 is happier as a domain controller, and it is
+in this role where it has seen deployment into production.
+
+Samba4 is subjected to an awesome battery of tests on an
+automated basis, we have found Samba4 to be very stable in it's
+behaviour.  We have to recommend against upgrading production servers
+from Samba 3 to Samba 4 at this stage, because there may be the features on
+which you may rely that are not present, or the mapping of
+your configuration and user database may not be complete. 
+
+If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba4, you should
+backup all configuration and data.
+
+We welcome your testing, please file bug reports at
+https://bugzilla.samba.org/, product: Samba4.  Please include as much
+information as possible, such as GIT revision number and backtraces.
