I believe that decision was made in 1995, well before my involvement in 
the project.  I can't find any discussion of the choice in what was then 
the development list.  Changing that decision now would not be easy.

You do have the option of putting everything in /etc/krb5.conf and not 
having a kdc.conf; the two files are both read by KDC-ish programs and 
merged together.
