+KCC improvements for sparse network replication
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The Samba KCC will now be the default knowledge consistency checker in
+Samba AD. Instead of using full mesh replication between every DC, the
+KCC will set up connections to optimize replication latency and cost
+(using site links to calculate the routes). This change should allow
+larger domains to function significantly better in terms of replication
+traffic and the time spent performing DRS replication.
