You are absolutely correct.  The real problem is that there
is no mechanism in the Windows AD to specify which enctypes
the client service supports.

The place this becomes a problem is with AFS because AFS
traditionally only supports the DES-CBC-CRC and not DES-CBC-MD5
or DES-CBC-MD4. (this will be corrected in the next couple of
days.)
