As a winbind user, I think that these should be interesting defaults

We can't do anything for existing configurations. Adding options to an
existing smb.conf (during an upgrade) is really too dangerous, imho
and fixing this should be left to the local admin (after all,
installing a samba server *requires* some skills with samba).

So, I propose that, as a side consequence of this bug report, we add
both options to th edefgault smb.conf, commented (just like all other
default winbind options we provide).

Do we understand why these are no longer the built-in defaults upstream?

If I were to guess I think maybe for performance reasons at large sites.
The speed difference between executing a 'groups' command with these options on 
vs off is quite significant I notice.
Maybe at a site with a large number of groups in the Active Directory it may 
become a problem...
