I think of it as being analogous to what happens in user space.  Your bag of
credentials (ticket file in user space) may contain multiple service
tickets, but it's the whole bag that gets inherited from parent to child.  A
process can change which bag it's going to use by setting an ev, but
whatever bag it's using, that's what all applications running in that
process or its children will see.
