Be careful not to light a match too close to the speculation

Okay, we got it!

Of course, there are no American tanks in the Baghdad's neighborhoods, dear Comical Ali!

Well, he did say that he was more oposed to including kerberos than including PAM...
If kerberos is now included, it would not be insanity to speculate that PAM might be next.

Seems sane to me. I'm not expecting to see PAM until after KDE Plasma LTS is ready. I'll guess the two additions will occur concurrently.

Kerberos, on the other hand, is a complicated mess that I'd rather not see dig its tendrils into everything.

Based on the inclusion of Kerberos, seems Pat successfully wrangled with the complexities. Is there a free software hall of fame?
