Don't you want to maintain some interoperability between 8.2 client/
server and 8.3 server/client at least? If you put my patches in 8.3,
and they work as well as I hope, then "in time" could be as soon as
8.4, I suppose.
To answer the question more directly: I do not know of any platform
that supports the "native" Kerb5 API that doesn't also support GSSAPI
for the simple reason that a Kerberos-only version of GSSAPI has been
bundled with both the MIT and Heimdal distributions for as long as I
can remember.

Why "in time" and not immediately? Are there platforms that don't
support the GSSAPI interface? If so, how would we ever retire the
old code?
