In my opinion, you should be thankful that there is such exhaustive documentation. As for 'improvements' - I think I have been saying on this list for a few years now that 'security = share' is deprecated and if indeed it has been finally put to death, so be it -after all it simulated Windows 95/98 file sharing mode and even Windows ceased to support it in every release since 2003. Samba being open source, you could compile an older version in /usr/local yourself or even use CentOS 5.x for many years and keep antiquity alive should you choose.
