ssh_config and GSSAPIAuthentication

The default Fedora ssh_config file comes with GSSAPIAuthentication set
to "yes". This causes a DNS query in an attempt to resolve
_kerberos.<hostname> whenever ssh is invoked. During periods when
connectivity to the outside world is interrupted for whatever reason,
the ssh session won't proceed until the DNS query times out. Not really
a problem, just more of an annoyance when trying to ssh to another
machine on the LAN.
Is there a reason why the default ssh_config comes with
GSSAPIAuthentication set to yes?
Thanks,
Jay
