I don't have a lot of time, but I have some interest in seeing this
done. I think that we should drop all Kerberos 4 code. Nobody should
care about Kerberos 4 anymore since it is insecure (based on DES). The
Kerberos V5 stuff in InetUtils worked fine both with MIT/Heimdal/Shishi
not so long ago, but we could certainly improve documentation so that it
becomes easier to setup and test.
However, I agree that we should postpone this for the next release. I
think we should get a new release out soon, it was too long ago since
the last release, and maybe even try to speed up the process so that we
have more frequent releases.
