Okay, well, no one's forcing you to use that back end. :-)

Some plugin interfaces in the krb5 library, including
preauthentication and KDC location determination; more will likely be
added in the future. Client-side support for server name referrals,
if you're using a Microsoft KDC. SPNEGO support in GSSAPI. A KDB
database abstraction layer, which is how the LDAP support was added.
(Want to write support for another database back end?) Security
patches and many other bug fixes...
