The gatekeepers have an open channel to Apple on AFS but we really need issues to be filed via the Apple Sales staff. Other organizations have gotten Apple's attention by refusing to order new equipment with Tiger installed until an OpenAFS stable release is available. I'm not suggesting you do the same; I'm only pointing out that the sales staff can be motivated to serve your needs. If that does not work for you, as a developer you can also file bug reports via ADC. If you are going to do so, please file a bug report at [EMAIL PROTECTED] including the ADC Bug Reference number.
