This is what I was wondering as I read this too. One benefit I could see
(but at a much smaller scoped project) is the ability to securely auto-sign
certs.

If you're already joining a machine to a Kerberos realm, it would be one
less step if you could use that trust to provide validation for signing
Puppet's client cert. Might be a bigger win for Windows systems, where
Kerberos is all but required.
