[OpenAFS] Definitive Krb5 documentation desired

We're still using kaserver (without cross-realm authentication)
rather than shift to kerberos 5 since the migration
looks very complex and confusing.  The Wiki information looks
out of date in places.  (And apparently heimdahl is no longer
recommended?).  The amount of information in krb5.conf and in PAM and
the babel of different afs+krb5 pam modules makes me reluctant to try a
switchover until summer when long outages may be more acceptable.
The 1.2.8 release says it supports V5 natively and I'm not sure how
that affects/outdates the documentation.  Will 1.2.9 do even more?

Is there any chance that OpenAFS + Kerb5 integration will get cleaned
up, standardized and documented soon ?
