An AFS token is just a Kerberos "afs" credential with some stuff stripped 
out, today. Sooner or later the stuff won't even be stripped out. At that 
point, why have 2 copies of the ticket?

If I have to have 2 copies now, well, I can already do that, and it's 
free: the code already exists and has been in service forever.
