We are running AFS-2-NFS translators for decades now without problems.
Mainly with Solaris, but also on AIX.
In fact there are a few reasons to use AFS-2-NFS as an alternative way
to access AFS when or where native AFS clients aren't available.
For some rare platforms, where an AFS client couldn't be build.
Or for NFS-type mounting installation data at installation time.
Or just to circumvent a temporary client failure.
