Dont you think cellaliases will confuse your users ?

I do belive Location Transparency is a really nice feature with AFS.
Cellaliases will break Location Transparency.

they will not have their strange aliases at home with their own
AFS-clienet.

they will not be able to understand where they files in afs live when they
come to another site that have AFS.

they will not be able to tell people who dont have the same cellaliases
where they homedirectory is.
