Not once krb5 is removed. Assuming the older server version used krb5 auth.
I want to remove it from both libpq and the server.
(8.3 libpq would of course work with older versions, since it's only
deprecated at that point)
I guess a compromise would be to remove it from the server in 8.4 and libpq
in 8.5 or so, if people think that it's a problem. But I think we definitly
want to get it out of libpq as well eventually.
