Oh, right, I was looking at 10/current.
Unless there are pressing calls for the feature in the stable branches,
it's probably best to hold off on the MFC, then. OpenAFS has encountered
a few KBI incompatibilities over the years (mostly in the networking bits,
if I remember correctly), and we can deal in the future, but not having to
is nice.
