If someone ports OpenAFS to FreeBSD, I'm happy to apply the patches and
help with the non-kernel components.  It's not that we have no interest,
it's that we have no developers.  Someone has to do the hard work of the
kernel port, and unless someone is willing to pay a company like Sine
Nomine to do it, it won't happen until enough developers volunteer.

That's one.  :)
