Among the benefits: Distributions could ship standard krb5.conf files with reasonable defaults and a collection of public realms, and then local administrators could drop in their own files as needed without changing the default file. The KDC and kadmind configuration could be kept in a separate file so that all hosts can use the same krb5.conf file even if one doesn't want to put KDC data into the default krb5.conf. Other software that uses the appdefaults section for its own configuration information (Kerberos PAM modules, for example) could drop in a separate configuration file without modifying the system krb5.conf.
