 Is changing kerberos flavor in 2024 really what we want ?
 People who are using base kdc will likekly migrate to ports version of
heimdal as database isn't compatible (unless something has changed in
the past 15 years I've used kerberos).
 I guess that kerberos is still used a bit at some Colleges or old
corporation that haven't moved from it but is it relevant for us to
still include kerberos in base ?
 OpenSSH-portable/curl and anything else in ports could be moved to use
MIT/Heimdal from ports (based on some options and/or subpackages if
that is possible).
