AFAIK, SMB is far from trivial.

There’s a list of 3rd-party products on Microsofts website that rely on SMBv1 or they either stop working completely or are crippled severely.

Our Sophos UTM at work is on that list, too, incidentally.

Also, the SMB-clients of the various Linux distributions of my coworkers and myself currently refuse to mount our home directories from the Windows fileserver.
(Other shares work, just not the home directories - thank god we’re not dependent on that functionality)

It stopped working previously, then started working again and it’s now non-functional again (with an error-message that doesn’t really say anything).

So, whoever feels brave enough to through him/herself into this has my deepest, heartfelt sympathy.
