Well, OK, on your suggestion I went and looked for SAMBA.

I see no mention of either "Mac" or "SAMBA" under "FAQ", or
"Documentation", or "Technical->Configuration files and templates", or
"CalNetAD Scripts", or "Various CalNetAD Procedures and How To's", or
"Configuration Files", or "Support and Tools".

In the article "CalNetAD Security NTLMv2", there is no mention of the
implications for anything except various versions of Windows.

Could you show me where the documentation about connecting SAMBA
clients, and particularly MacOS clients, to CalNetAD exists?

I suggest that, instead of blaming the users, that the CalNetAD team
evaluate its own internal policies to determine why, after several
years of warnings of the importance of alternative platforms on
campus, CalNetAD still fails to show any interest in supporting
non-Windows platforms.
