the thing is I could argue the same for the MIT Kerberos support. It works 
very well, I can establish trusts with FreeIPA, Windows etc., but it isn't 
completely bug free, feature complete and needs polishing.
It looks like the new KCC is in the same state, but it is OK to push the new 
KCC upstream and then enable it?



Can't we fix the remaining issues before we enable it by default? I will do 
the same with MIT Kerberos support ...


Cheers,
