I do not intend to change the names of existing keys.
That would break too many sites and create a support
nightmare.

The only keys that are currently created are used for
two purposes:

   1. Maintenance of the Installation Process
   2. Support for the AFS Client Service

All other data is currently stored in the old style Profile files.
I am proposing a location to be used for the storage of new options
and for those migrated from the old style Profile files. 

Migrating from the older Profile files is not something I
will be adding to the running software.  Tools to support that
functionality will need to be written and executed by the installers.
