Well, but that's not unsurmountable, just pick a randomly named directory in /tmp and make sure to have a symlink: ln -s /tmp/krb.XXXXXX "$HOME/.krb-`cat /etc/machine-id`" to give it a stable, machine-local name. That's more or less what PulseAudio did in absence of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in order not to be vulnerable to namespace attacks but still having a stable, machine-local place to put runtime objects.
