AFS is not the sort of network protocol that you can convert to IPv6 by
just doing some global search and replace in the code base.  There are
significant protocol and on-disk file format issues.  For just one
example, the Ubik database that stores the VLDB information can't store
IPv6 addresses for file servers.

Just whacking the internal code structures without thinking about the
protocol impact is not going to provide any useful information.
