First, I have no control over the MIT zephyr admins. Second, the
migration should be invisible to users who do not need to use the new
functionality. Many of my friends have aliases for "zwrite
marc@cygnus.com", and this shoudl continue to work.
The other problem is that if MIT has one zephyr realm to which all
users from several kerberos realms subscribe, how does one distinguish
between marc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU and marc@LCS.MIT.EDU, which are not the
same person?
