Greg,

I was looking at the NetBSD Coda parts over the weekend, but it seemed that 
most of the bugs in the FreeBSD code were due to gradual rot as VFS evolved 
and our Coda module source didn't remain code up.

I notice that NetBSD still supports CODA_COMPAT_5 as well -- is there any 
reason to keep on doing this, really?  I understand originally it was because 
Coda 5 remained under the BSD license and Coda 6 was under GPL, but it's been 
a while since anyone did anything with Coda 5.
