Agree with the first sentence, disagree with the second. Having an
easy-to-set-up AFS method is a win even if the precursor (kerberos) is
hard. If anything, the existence of the easy AFS setup would incent
the development of something similar for kerberos. One might even
argue that in a lot of cases, desire to use AFS is a primary reason
for end users or small sites to implement kerberos.
