But most, if not all, of those SMB3 cases _also_ support SMB2.1,
right?  So the "3.0 _only_" case ends up being a fairly rare case
where things have been explicitly limited, and any previous Linux use
must have had that explicit "vers=3.0" flag anyway?

No?

Anyway, we can't avoid *some* breakage (ie the places that literally
only support 1.0 will have to add the explicit "vers=1.0" to get the
mount).

And I merged the code to add better error reporting yesterday, so
hopefully regardless of the default we choose the breakage is not
nearly as confusing to people any more.
