UPDATING: Note the Kerberos package rename (c7da9fb90b0b)

Shouldn't this be the other way around? Heimdal is FreeBSD-kerberos while=

MIT is FreeBSD-krb5. I objected to the name change because it could cause=

people to assume they were one in the same.
although i understand you objected to D51420, i landed it anyway[0]
which means the packages are back to their old names and there are
no more FreeBSD-krb5* packages.
let me explain why i did this:
- the change to the package names caused friction both inside the
project (e.g., it broke the OCI build scripts) and outside the
project (according to reports i received from downstream users).
- it was not clear there is any advantage to renaming the packages.
- due to above i was specifically asked to land this commit by several
people, including a pkgbase maintainer, and one of my mentors at the
time.
- i considered this a reasonable course of action because this restored
the previous status quo and undid a change that (as far as i'm aware)
hadn't been reviewed by #pkgbase, so in case of doubt, i erred on the
side of restoring the previous behaviour.
i apologise for reverting your code over your stated objections but now
that we are back to the previous behaviour, we can discuss whether to
rename these packages, which i suggest doing via a Phabricator review
that includes #pkgbase.
No offense taken. I'm ok if those using the packages understand fully.
Do people want /usr/src/krb5 renamed to /usr/src/kerberos5 when Heimdal is
removed? I'm open to this.
IMO it's fine to stay where it is; krb5 is a designation given to it
elsewhere (upstream?), not just a FreeBSD-ism. If it were hard to
recognize what that may be for someone familiar with Kerberos
implementations it'd be more tempting to move it.
I do think we should add a note to ^/README.md with a short description
of the krb5/ directory, though.
Thanks,
Kyle Evans
