Is it common for Gitlab to take contributions from the community and release them as Enterprise Only, or am I understanding things incorrectly? Is the Kerberos

  We only release things as Enterprise Edition only if they are contributed to that repository. We never deprecate features from the Community Edition. See https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship In this case I think CERN contributed code for both SAML and Kerberos over time. The SAML code got merged into CE and we ended up spending a lot of time improving it, documenting it, and providing unpaid support. It turns out that SAML is more of a framework for creating standards than a standard :) The Kerberos functionality was contributed by CERN to Enterprise Edition https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6 and CERN left this comment https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/685#note_1297043 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/685#n... on the Kerberos CE contribution. I think Kerberos Ticket based git pull is Enterprise only.
