This makes sense in the abstract, but I am concerned about the
complexity of the implementation.  We implemented support for
asynchronous preauth mechanisms in the AS-REQ code path, and I feel like
it came at a significant cost to the maintainability of do_as_req.c and
kdc_preauth.c.

Have you thought about designing a libkdc-like interface for the MIT
krb5 KDC, so that Samba could do RODC support in the same way as it does
for Heimdal?
