We no longer run AIX tests.  Our donated AIX box was very old and
slow, and its disk was in the process of dieing.

If there's no one out there in the Kerberos development community who
cares enough about AIX to get the betas, test them and send bug fixes,
then yes, AIX support is going to be fairly bad.

Kerberos is an open-source product; if you want it to work better on
your platform, you can do the work to make that happen or you can pay
someone to do that work for you.
