<p>My opinion (because it looks like people want opinions here):</p>
<p>I was/am definitely one of the hcoop members put off by relearning AFS and domtool stuff when I wanna add something to my account. The main problem with AFS that I have isn't that it's networked (which is a great idea) but that I can't use the usual unix permission commands to manipulate my files.</p>

In theory, a network filesystem make sense for us. I think that the use<br>
of AFS have shown that while network filesystems work, the added<br>
maintenance burden is too high for us to afford.<br>
