[OpenAFS] OpenAFS and http://www.kernel.org

[Paul Blackburn]

One of the impediments for OpenAFS [1] is the proliferation
of Linux distributions each with their own kernel ports.

Example: Mandrake 9.0 [2] is not currently "supported" by OpenAFS.

Would it be possible to take the kernel parts of OpenAFS
and integrate them into the main Linux kernel [3] releases?

If this were achieved, would it not make the task of making
OpenAFS available in new distro releases a whole lot simpler?
