I would love for it to go away entirely, and those base-system components that depend on it to learn how to use either Kerberos implementation from ports. (I'd also love for the ancient and broken base version of libcom_err to go away -- there's no knob to turn it off, and the shared library conflicts with ports/krb5.) (And yes, this is a bit of an irony considering that I used to be the maintainer of the base-system Kerberos code in the long-ago krb4 days. But my job requires me to administer MIT Kerberos, so I need the MIT kadmin utility and not the Heimdal one.) -GAWollman
