The difficulty here is - what should packagers build? If DAFS isn't on =
by default, then most folk won't actually get the benefit of running it =
unless they build their own AFS servers. I suspect that shipping 1.6 =
with dafs disabled by default isn't actually going to result in much =
perceived change over 1.4.

I wonder how hard it would be to ship both versions of the fileserver =
side by side ...
