Yes, of course, and that was going to happen anyway.  But, apart from
adding k5 support, almost nothing is different between the two
libtelnets.  I'm not sure what you mean to suggest with, or how much
weight to give to the argument that krb5 contains the canonical telnet
sources..  The MIT version is almost completely unused when built from
the NetBSD tree.  It's only relevant when upgrading the dist/krb5 tree,
or when building straight out of dist/krb5 (which I believe can be a
useful thing for developers to be able to do, when testing
compatibility).
