I do not believe I missed anything.  I do know that rxosd has been presented to us starting at the hackathon in 2006.  I agree with what you've said, but time matters too--from an openafs perspective, do you and the other gatekeepers believe that we can arrive at a stable protocol extension in, say, 45 days?
