Yes.  Quoting  the set-change-password draft:

   AP-REQ data: (see [3]) For a change password/key request, the AP-REQ
   message service ticket sname, srealm principal identifier is
   kadmin/changepw at REALM where REALM is the realm of the change password
   service. The same applies to a set password/key request except the
   principal identifier is kadmin/setpw at REALM. The authenticator in the
   AP-REQ MUST contain a subsession key (which will be used to encrypt


You'll break all existing change password services if you don't
support kadmin/changepw.  I'm not sure what I think about kadmin/fqdn
instead of kadmin/admin.  I think that may cause problems if we ever
go to multi-master admin servers.
