Well, there is room for improvement regarding pull request reviews. :) Anyhow, I pinged Johannes and Andrey regarding PR #6447. Maybe it's best to wait a few days for reply. There are no general issues regarding the use of krb5 or sasl. It is merely an issue regarding Windows, where mysqlnd is built statically, and any link time dependency on external libs for php.dll must be avoided. For OpenSSL authentication, we worked around that with run-time linking; I can't tell whether this would be a viable solution in this case.
