I don't consider this a high priority for our implementation because we don't really have a good implementation of U2U at the current time. We'd need to have SPNEGO, so a client can determine whether it should be using U2U or normal Kerberos. We'd also need to support the U2U mechanism. I'm not sure I see a problem taking the patch under than the change in semantics. So again, I continue to believe that the best course of action is to solicit review of the change in semantics and if people don't complain then adopt the patch.
