[OpenAFS] IBM withdrawing AFS

[J Michael Mosley]

Is anybody providing commecrial support for OpenAFS yet?

Having source and the mailing lists are great for us from development/deployment 
point of view but it would also be nice to continue to have some type of phone 
support. Crisis situations where we have had to use that type of support have 
been rare, but  we rely heavily on AFS, and we like to be prepared.

Also, all of our NT (soon to be XP) desktops use the AFS client and we have 
concerns about how well the OpenAFS group will be able to provide ports to the
future Microsoft releases.
