While I _really_ don't want to get into the whole "how often should you
upgrade" flamelet, I want to correct a common misconception in your
statement above. Many people use AFS in a very closed environment (in my
case, various large financials). The main driver for my current employer is
that AFS provides seamless client-side failover of read-only data on Linux.
The caching is a nice side benefit. Now if only client cache invalidation
were a tad more reliable...
