IPv6 strawman plan: Re: [OpenAFS-devel] Moving Forwards

1) replace kernel filesystem type of 'afs' with 'tfs''
2) expand all 32 bit IP address data structures to 128 bits
3) change sockaddr() etc calls to INET6
4) develop ipv4 afs to ipv6 tfs proxy server
5) kernel module housekeeping to allow openafs.ko and tfs.ko to
be loaded at the same time to allow clients to mount /afs using
legacy OpenAFS, and /tfs moving forward.

Is there anything else I'm missing (besides the flamewar that
will probably follow regarding the name change?)
