To me, this represents a big dificulty for a project as cross-platform

of time.
Any discussion about implementation (which seems premature to me)
belongs in -devel and not here. But I also would not expect this to work
flawlessly even within a single platform (that's the "downside" of "the
rpc.gssd approach"), so not working on different platforms I don't find
very concerning.
Believe it or not, my mail was already trimmed to avoid some bits which
were only appropriate on -devel. Maybe I didn't trim enough ;)
Then again, I guess we're already fragmented for other things (i.e.,
PAGs), so maybe that's not so bad. I don't know how many sites there
are that require cross-platform feature parity, these days.
PAGs are "fragmented" only on OS X; unless you just mean in the
technical details of how they are implemented, but I don't see how
that's relevant.
I just meant OS X.
