Mit is very reluctant to treat AFS as a special application.  There is
support for AFS in src/appl/bsd/login.krb5.  I think some of us view
that support as a bug.

MIT certainly does not have resources to port libkafs.  MIT would be
very unlikely to pull libkafs into the distribution and would
discourage others from doing so.

That said, I think libkafs is probably the right way to go for AFS
support and would like to see a version of libkafs that worked with
MIT Kerberos.  I just don't see anything you gain from folding it into
the main Kerberos distribution.
