I'm a bit on the fence on this one.  My gut says wait until the MIT krb5 
implementation does it so we remain consistent with their implementation 
as it is currently.  We could take the initiative given the email, 
however, if there's a bug/rfe that's actively being worked by the MIT 
krb5 guys on their end.
