I'd like to see the following:

    * A statement. ASAP. Not later than after the next 
      elders meeting.
    * The next 1.5.x release without kaserver
    * The next 1.4.y release with kaserver renamed to
      kaserver-only-use-behind-firewall so that the
      admin has actively rename it to make it work

Unless action by the AFS admin is required (i.e. we actually take away
the broken toy so it can not be misused), we will not be able to
communicate "krb4 is bad and kaserver double so". 

Google for kaserver and my username and the hits will show you what
I've been thinking about kaserver. I found my emails from 2001...
Mmmmmmm: strncpy(strlen()), great stuff.

Harald.
