The kerberos5 library Heimdal is one of three GSS libraries curl support.
It has a memory leak triggered by the new test in #18917 and the project
seems mostly abandoned.
Drop support and steer use...
quick curiosity question about breaking changes and versions: this is technically a breaking change, it would mandate a new major version according to semver. I know curl does not strictly abide by semver. How do you make sure the 3 people impacted by that change actually see it when they update?
@vincentbiret it's not a breaking change, neither API nor ABI change. An affected user (assuming one even exists) just have to build with a another 3rd party library and not change anything else.
ah it's a module/lib/implementation detail. From afar it looked like it was a protocol being dropped. I'm guessing that things like dropping a protocol or a version of one would mandate a major version bump?

Bye, Heimdal.

Adding parts is often easier than removing them. One has to be bold to say "enough".
