Actually, this is my biggest nit about it. We ship something with a
release that doesn't automatically get updated with a make world. I
suppose that makes me for the change. Either that or dropping krb5
out of the system completely. But as there are pretty significant
integration benefits (openssh, telnet, etc) I think we should keep
it.

I think a heads up to -current would have been better if nothing
else than to keep knee jerk reactions like mine down.
