Thank you very much for the thorough response, and the kind offer of
code.  I am very intrigued by the kadmin plugin architecture that you
have described, and wish I had the time to devote to such a project.
Unfortunately for now, I will probably couple the password admin ACL
layer directly into our homegrown web-based admin toolset.

Is there any chance that the main MIT codebase would ever include such a
plugin architecture, to facilitate extended functionality such as my
complex ACL use case?

Thank you again,
