Are there any contrib modules that we should consider promoting to mainline for the 2.5 series?  I.e., sha2, argon2 seem like potential options.

Maybe smbk5pwd module and autogroup overlay?

Is smbk5pwd really useful today?

I'm asking although I made use of it in former deployments.

1. Kerberos functionality does not work with MIT Kerberos.

2. AFAICS NTLM password hashes (WinNT domain) will stop working with

newer Windows versions. At least that's what I understood on the Samba mailing lists. Also storing NT password hashes is a security nightmare.

It can be useful to maintain compatibility with old systems.
