Right, done.

Yes, I was wondering if that's worth keeping or not, so I chose
consistency with AUTH_REQ_KRB4 and AUTH_REQ_KRB5.

Would it be better to hold on this patch for 17~?  I have just noticed
that while looking at Jacob's patch for require_auth, so the timing is
not good.  Honestly, I don't see a reason to wait a few extra month to
remove that, particularly now that pg_dump and pg_upgrade go down to
9.2..
