Speaking as someone who has thought this too soon to do in the past, I 
strongly support such a removal, as long as a user forced to use his 
NetBSD system in a Kerberos IV environment has an option in pkgsrc 
that's usable, and as long as the mentioned code to allow NetBSD to stay 
in the running for environments which still have some Kerberos IV 
systems is added.

Thanks for working on this!
