            Bug ID: 291695
           Summary: MIT Kerberos in base differs from MIT Kereros in ports
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

Heimdal was finally replaced with MIT Kerberos [1], but the release notes do
not mention that the symbol tables in the shared objects do not match to MIT
Kerberos from ports. There have been now two PRs (linked).

The release notes or some other document (errata notes?) should describe that
it does not make 1:1 to MIT Kerberos from ports and whether the Heimdal symbols
version will disappear in 16 and base will be identically logically to ports.

This has been somewhat noted
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291565#c2, but the source is
not publically availale and totally opaque to users, for ports committers like
me as well.

This needs to be addressed in a user-friendly fashion.
