who really uses a standard kernel except desktop people ?
these people for sure won't use afs themselves, since its not that easy
to configure or maintain. you even have to rebuild afs kernel modules
each time there is a kernel security upgrade and probably ever admin who
is capable of rebuilding the kernel modules is capable of building his
own kernel.

btw. what about a vote on the website about the different options ?
ask your userbase what they want to have ;)

just my thoughts
