I'm very dubious about this statement.  The requirement to handle
negotiation and potential multiple round trips and all the complexity with
major and minor status codes makes the equivalent GSS code complicated and
annoying.

GSS pays a significant price for being a generic mechanism with a
negotiation method, and the API does not hide that price from the
programmer.
