OpenAFS doesn't exist (yet), so having OpenAFS do it is sort of
fictional, but sure.
But, another problem is what we'd like to do involves having multiple
people needed to sign things, and that's not possible with the tools
available today; And then it would make getting new releases available
quickly harder (or involve more tools)
