No, that sounds like a very good idea.
rsh/rlogin: some Kerberos installations have to contend with
non-kerberized telnetds (because certain powers-that-be have fallen
for SRP), so if you want to do Kerberos, rsh/rlogin become essential.
ftp: ISRT someone (Ken Hornstein? Someone from MIT?) saying they
wanted to port NetBSD's ftp-client changes back. If you can either
add the GSS-API stuff from krb5 to our ftp, or add Luke's bells and
whistles to the MIT krb5 ftp, then everyone wins.
