I would expect technology preview releases within the next
month or so. But the final delivery date is really "when the
code is ready". No specific ETA.

Samba 4 does include its own LDAP Directory service and
Heimdal based KDC. The reasons for this are to get a working
implementation up and running. Later efforts will probably
focus more on integration of other 3rd party pieces

If you really want to test Samba 4, I would mail your questions
to the samba-technical mailing list. Only one Samba 4 developer
subscribes to this list (that I know of). The majority just hang
out on the developer list.
