No, it would tremendously increase it, since you'd then be messing with
a very core part of the afs client on linux only, and openafs devs would
still have to maintain all of the rest of the code for every other
platform that openafs supports.
The stuff with pags/keyrings/etc. is similar, but it's also modular
enough already that it's less of an issue, but even that will increase
maintenance effort since linux approx will be very different from other
platforms.
