My understanding is that the choice to use UDP was something that was
inherited from before OpenAFS (that is, prior to the code being dropped by
IBM).

If you look at Derrick's reply to the email you linked, he says there was a
branch in CVS. I believe there is still a "plan" to make the switch to TCP,
but I believe there are other things that the gatekeepers feel need to
happen first.

Do bear in mind I'm not sure on the second part about the switch to TCP, but
I do seem to remember this coming up every so often.
