Sure. The reason is I wish the common users to work with the AFS system 
just like with any other common Linux system both on a multiuser 
application server and their workstations in campus.
It would bring more administrative work to create and manage such 
specific principals. Also I would have to treat such principals like 
they were another users in our system - ie. I have to create additional 
LDAP, pts entries, set up their ACLs etc.
