How many of the top-10 use Kerberos?
And what exactly is the top-10 (which list?)(
For the sale of argument lets say they are:
	mit		Yes (duh :)
	stanford	Yes
	cmu		Yes
	u-mich		Yes
	u-wash		I dunno
	uw-madison	I dunno
	uc-berkeley	I dunno
	cornell		I dunno
	ut-austin	I dunno
	uiuc		I dunno
Plus, would you need to get all 10?
(that is do capaths work well enough
that the question is not how soon<1> can
meet in person, with those 10 admins, but how soon
can you auth to all ten transitively)

<1> How often you go to conferences where
    such people are likely to be is probably
    the driving factor here.


But, your point is well taken.  Perhaps
what would be more useful is if somebody
like educase served as a central crossrealm
hub (everyone exchanges keys with them and
gets a current capaths file).
