In all seriousness, what has changed in AFS to need an up-to-date

Essentially, AFS provides
acl's/possible encryption/secure authentication and authorization
through kerberos/flexable ways to manage storage/clean backup
solutions/redundancy/...
while nfs provides:
files.
From what I've heard, NFSv4 provides the security you mention above.
Is this not true?
I don't know of any NFSv4 implementations, hell I think Linux is still
barely only 'ish' doing NFSv3 (along with many others).
