The important words there are "public services", and provides an "option" that one will find many agencies are likely to examine carefully. Few (if any) agencies use AFS to provide public data today. A very few services need to be IPv6 compliant in 2012 (maybe run a web proxy or two on EC2) and I expect there is currently a bunch of "beltway bandits" offering such services for the web, mail, and dns services for agencies (and if you outsource your email to google, you are already done for that, and if you outsource your web site to Akamai they are supposed to have production IPv6 RSN (there were rumors last year they had it "in test" but had not yet made it widely available; it may be production by now, I do not know), DNS is probably already outsourced since few wanted to handle DNSSEC key mgmt and HSM requirements). So, many agencies can deal with 2012. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
