I would like to live in a world where that is true.  I don't think we're 
quite in the state where we can say that this is "quite clearly" true yet, 
though.  (Consider people doing cloud deployments; provisioning a new 
image with its own credentials is a hassle unless you add your own tooling 
on top of stock kadmin.)  Anyway, I don't think this is a worthwhile topic 
for us to discuss here, and it doesn't seem very relevant to the actual 
text of the document in question.
