[OpenAFS] Two questions AFS as a *large* webserver system backend in lieu of NFS

Someone mentioned privately AFS can't/won't handle device nodes?  Is this 
(still) true?  If so, why, and how difficult would it be to develop this 
feature?  Without it almost all the utility of AFS is lost to me.  I need 
to have user jails, with a 'shared' part that doesn't change (you know 
/usr/bin/usr/sbin) replicated to everyone without having to keep 300MB per 
user (actually almost 3x that I think).


TIA
