Hi there. I'm trying to find somebody who is actually using either
Kerberos or SRP support in libssl. I'm inclined to remove support for
them. While the bulk of the code sits off to the side, the integration
requires adding several additional cases to some of the most critical
paths.

For reference, OpenBSD hasn't ever compiled support for either of these
features and I haven't seen many complaints. The code has all the
hallmarks of something that somebody needed once, threw over the
fence, and has been barely maintained on life support ever since. That
said, we'd rather not be too hasty in deleting it because unbeknownst
to us, it could be useful.

We're looking for somebody to stand up and say "Not only do I need SRP
support, but I'm sufficiently invested that I'd like to help maintain
it."

Note that I'm not looking for negative responses. You don't need to
tell me you think it's ok to delete these features. I already think
that.

Also note that I'm not really interested in rumors or whispers. You
don't need to tell me that it's possible somebody else uses Kerberos.
I know it's possible, that's why I'm asking. I'd like to know who.

Thanks.
