That sounds reasonable. V5 has been shaky in beta, not to mention
suffering from bloat compared to V4.
Around here there are 100,000 principles using V4 (AFS version) in
production, and three principles using V5 from MIT just to try it out.
The AFS users might switch to DCE someday, while a couple of
departments are now looking at SSH and avoiding Kerberos altogether.
