I think the issue here is that -K and -k are not completely
symmetrical:

>  -K   Enables GSSAPI-based authentication and forwarding (delegation)
>       of GSSAPI credentials to the server.
> 
>  -k   Disables forwarding (delegation) of GSSAPI credentials to the
>       server.

I think the rationale is that delegation requires authentication to be
useful, but disabling delegation without disabling authentication is a
useful thing to do too.
