You know the only thing that would *really* satisfy me is if Kerberos  
and AFS used the same ticket/token storage mechanism, and that  
mechanism had all the properties of PAG's (and there were proper  
tools for dealing with the storage).  None of the three camps have  
made fundamentally wrong design decisions, but I hate the results.

I'll shut up now.  I think we've beat this horse to death.
