supported enctypes: what is the net effect of removing 3des?

Hey there.  My org is moving off 3des.

My reading of "supported_enctypes" is simply that it will stop kadmin/the 
KDC from generating NEW keys of an older type, correct?  That if I do a 
cpw without -keepold, those keys will be removed -- but otherwise, the KDC 
will not act as though a user with 3des-only keys doesn't exist.

Changing it should not break any authentication or tickets?  Or will the 
kdc then refuse to issue TGT's that use that type at all?  (It seems like 
that would be affected by the similarly named permitted_enctypes, tho).
