I doubt you will get our excellent sysadmins to keep working for the
coop for free if you and your "fraction" (though I don't know who else
that would be) started dictating what tools they may or may not use.

Also I love the power of the new AFS based system, and I wouldn't want
to be in a coop that would throw that away because you don't want to
spend 15 minutes checking out the fs man page.

Nobody is paying for that. Any handholding you may have received in
your use of HCoop has been entirely volunteer based and unpaid.
