Of course this stuff should be in the kernel (ideally, we should get the entire wine server in the kernel :)), but what about a fallback for boxes that don't have that in there? Even if we do the work now (to push things into the kernel), it will be a few years before we can expect people to have it available on their boxes...
I think it's reasonable to require people who want SMB file access to upgrade their kernel. It's not like it's a widely requested feature, we haven't had it for 10 years and nobody complained...
