What do you propose for the path of the redundant binaries ?

fs listquota is not enough for you ? (it's a real question, not ironic)
I kind of disagree for splitting the openafs ports cause as you say some 
commands are useful (more or less) for both client and server part, but 
as it seems that it's going to be that way, I want the port to be clean 
and with no redundancy.
The thing is you can't use the some vos command without a client (vos 
dump, restore etc ...) but those commands are not intend to users.
Quoting the openafs administration reference :

The commands in the vos command suite are the administrative interface 
to the Volume Server and Volume Location (VL) Server. System 
administrators use vos commands to create, move, delete, replicate, back 
up and examine volumes, among other operations.

But I think you know that but know you see my point.
