Earlier I was just trying to point out that this change will affect
Solaris packaging which splits binaries into two packages, one for those
binaries needed by a client/service needing krb auth and one for those
needed by a KDC.  I did not intend to imply that Oracle disagreed with
Sam's proposal.  I will bring up this issue with the rest of the Solaris
krb development team in our weekly meeting tomorrow and reply to this
thread with the collective opinion.
