It would be very useful to have a flag like that to mark trusted
services.
Being able to forward TGTs is very useful in some cases, but the
downside is that then you end up forwarding it just to everybody. Being
able to say, at the KDC level, whom the client should fully trust or not
would be a major improvement.
