Coolness. AFS is heavily used at my work(150GB/9 servers); I actualy hate 
AFS for a number of reasons, but it would be cool to have a FreeBSD client.

We don't have any source-code licenses, but could provide a good
test environment. 

What I'm extremly interested in is looking over John's shoulder
while he does the ioctl and vnode interface stuff in /sys/afs...  
I've almost had a working CODA kernel off of -current about 2 months ago.
   ...Maybe I'll shake the dust off and try to get it working again.
