The same people who are responsible for 'FreeIPA server functionality if
it breaks', for years.
We chose to have FreeIPA and Samba AD with MIT Kerberos as our domain
controller technologies in Fedora more than a decade ago, we committed
to develop them through Samba and FreeIPA upstreams, we keep doing so.
Please watch our talk at SambaXP'23: 'Samba AD / MIT Kerberos: path out
of experimental'.

As I said, we already committed to this work for more than a decade ago
in Fedora. We first announced productization of Samba AD DC with MIT
Kerberos in Fedora 27 in 2017, this was a milestone which went into
Fedora 27's release notes:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f27/release-notes/sysadmin/Do...
Thanks. I didn't realize it had that status.
If you team is happy to stand behind Samba AD in the same way it stands
behind FreeIPA, I'd have no problem at all with it being release-
blocking, if the WG wants to do that.
