Yes, now any service is treated as TrustedToAuthForDelegation unless
it has a none-empty msDS-AllowedToDelegateTo list, on the other hand
with
NonForwardableDelegation set to enabled RBCD is no longer allowed with
non-forwardable tickets (this would be the default soon, or it is
already).

I guess that cross-realm would also be required to be forwardable,
which means the other realm is trusted for that, I'll try to test it.
