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...
