I understand why this was done and I'm not trying to convince existing
cells to change.  I'm also not really addressing large cells.  They'll
have their own requirements and if they have to do some/all of the
cell creation on their own, well that's OK.

I'm thinking about new small cells--many of them single-server cells
running on one machine.  Most such cells will not be running SunOS or Ultrix.

If I were building Depot from scratch, would it be possible to
reasonably change /afs/cell/@sys to /afs/cell/system/@sys in a few
places in the source?
