Because the site has deployed Transarc RX-based password changing
clients which are only capable of using the Transarc string-to-key.
In that case, storing a MIT v4 string-to-key encoded key in the
database will prevent the user from being able to change their
password with a Transarc password-changing client.
Ah, OK. In that case, you're right --- making the kadmind be able to
use the Transarc string-to-key will do the right thing. And once those
password changing clients can be updated to use the standard password
changing clients, a single change at the kadmin server will allow those
sites to transition back to the MIT string_to_key().
