I'd also like to follow along and understand the decision to switch base
kerberos to MIT; more specifically, why base kerberos is desirable at all. Is
there ongoing discussion on the choice to continue including kerberos in
base?How many users are depending on base kerberos as it stands, since base
Heimdal is 12+ years old? For the applications that enable kerberos support
(e.g. sshd, , why not force users to build those applications from ports and
set the corresponding OPTIONS to enable GSSAPI/kerberos support? As I
understand it, both Heimdal and MIT kerberos are third-party projects. This
would also remove maintenance burden of vendor imports of newer kerberos
versions in the future. I'm personally content with choosing my preferred
vendor of kerberos through ports.
