Hm? I'm not sure I understand. This _is_ a V5 ticket we're putting in
the kernel for the cache manager. I know about the backwards compatability
issues with older cells, and I don't have a good answer on how to deal
with that yet. But if we consider aklog part of the client program, that's
easy for non-KDC admins to deal with.
