For Fedora Core 5, I disabled SMBFS for pretty much the same reasons.
Users migrating to CIFS haven't really had any problems so far, except for
this case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186914
(Which has also come up a few times on Fedora mailing lists since).
I mailed Steve about this, and he did reply, but I can't seem to find it
right now
