FWIW, I vote for having it in the base system.  To leave it out would
sort of be like having full support for DOS filesystems in the kernel
(which we do) but require that the user go elsewhere for the mount_msdos
command which makes it actually usable (which thankfully we don't).

POLA would dictate it either be completely bundled or completely
unbundled, and I think "bundled" makes sense since SMB is just about
as popular a distributed filesystem mechanism as NFS is.
