Problem is, I know many people --- including a number from CMU --- who 
honestly believe that AFS is dead.

Although it's hard for me to blame them, actually; IBM has "cold dead fish 
syndrome" big time, so AFS hasn't been very visible to much of the 
computing world since IBM took control of it away from ASG and gave it to 
Transarc.
