I was about to write that on the koji side it's all equal work, though 
depending on your situation creating a host ssl key might be easier then 
creating a krb host principal (if for example, you aren't a kerberos admin).

However, I realized that setting the krb_principal for the host entry in 
the db might be a slight hassle. While the addHost call supports 
specifying it, the cli command doesn't handle that optional arg. (I 
think I'll fix that now).

Even so, the code still sets a default krb_principal for the host based 
on the HostPrincipalFormat hub config option and its hostname. If you 
still to a standard naming scheme this should allow automation. Plus if 
you really need to, you could call addHost via the call subcommand to 
specify that third arg.

That being said -- are you bringing so many hosts online that human 
intervention is really a barrier? I'm curious why you need this.
