I suspect it's deprecated just because Heimdal has a different memory
management API technique than MIT Kerberos.  MIT adds free functions for
every type of allocated memory, whereas Heimdal collects the random simple
frees into krb5_xfree, which simplifies the interface somewhat.  If you're
writing solely to Heimdal's API, there's no reason to use the more
specific function.
