| Subject: | PKINIT draft9 code could possibly be removed |
The draft9 code in the PKINIT module is intended to interoperate with
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. All of those
products have been out of support for over a year. It may be time to
remove the draft9 code, which would significantly reduce the complexity
of the PKINIT module.
There is some risk that there could be people running those products
beyond their support lifetime and depending on our compatibility with
them (assuming it actually works).
