-Don't warn of expiration reported the new way if it's more than a week from
-now, for consistency with the code that handles expiration times reported the
-old way.  RT#6682  Discussion in RT leans toward following the code intent
-of depending on the to KDC simply not include the new-style information if
-it's above a configured threshold, thus leaving the timing of warnings to the
-KDC administrator.

+- drop patch to suppress key expiration warnings sent from the KDC in
+  the last-req field, as the KDC is expected to just be configured to either
+  send them or not as a particular key approaches expiration (#556495)
+
