(1) Is V5 going to use static config files (/etc/krb.conf,
/etc/krb.realms, or whatever) like V4 did?
(2) If yes, why? At the very least, I can imagine a simple system in
which only the local realm and local kerberos servers are stored in a
local config file, the local servers contain the large config files
for the realm, and krb5 API functions retrieve the data. It would
then be trivial to allow environment variables or local config files
to override the realm-wide files.
