I think enough people have weighed in on how easy it is to go from Transarc
AFS to OpenAFS.  Generally, you just swap binaries.

I suspect your technical types are underestimating how much your cell
name gets embedded into the infrastructure of your site.  I am not
aware of anyone who's actually attempted such a thing (and lived to
tell about it).

Each of the steps you refer you (switching over to new software, K5
integration, etc etc), can be done in small steps and still support older
client software.
