What a load of crap.

I personally work with a group of people (about 5000 users) which involve
20 sites, approximately 7-8 Kerberos realms, which make very heavy use
of cross-realm authentication in production, and it works just fine.

I also know of plenty of other sites that use cross-realm authentication
all of the time.
