-The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The
-krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
-from using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a configuration
-variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false"
-beginning with krb5-1.8.
+Beginning with the krb5-1.18 release, single-DES encryption types are
+no longer supported.
