Perhaps because they want us to fix our "hideous" interfaces, and wanted us 
to stop waiting for someone else to design the new ones and write the 
necessary kernel bits?

Derrick tried to submit a patch that implimented "safe" syscall 
registration modeled on nfsservctl, and got nothing but pushback about how 
dispatching interfaces suck, and that instead afs should use an 
"open/read/write/close" method. This wasn't from redhat, but it's an 
indication of how the linux-kernel community views the openafs 
implementation.
