4.8 goes EoL upstream mid-September (about 2 weeks before Q4), so
making 4.10 now would be good, but I believe it's just too late for
that.  A port like this needs at least a few weeks of wider testing
before it can be pushed to users of the quarterly branches who expect
more stability.

Since you said that the new libs are API compatible, is it possible to
make 4.8 use the new libs?  If not, then all non-samba consumers will
have to switch to the legacy libs.  They can be switched back after the
2019Q3 branch has been created (together with making 4.10 the default
which probably needs an exp-run).
