What is 'flavor'?

I've just set up a 1.4.1 KDC and I notice what appears to be new 
information in kadmind log messages, namely, 'flavor=nnnnn'. I don't think 
I've seen this on my current production KDC, which is 1.3.4.  So, some 
questions:

o  What does 'flavor' mean in this context?

o Is this information, in particular the meaning of specific flavor 
values, documented?

So far, I've seen the following values for 'flavor':  6 and 300001. The 
former corresponds to an interactive kadmin authentication;  the latter to 
a kadmin using a keytab.  But thus far I have no further information, so 
I'm hoping someone can enlighten me.

Thanks.

Mike
