I would expect that the simplest model for disconnected AFS is to simply serve what's in the cache readonly. That would already be a huge step up from what we have now and while it would serve old files that have since been changed, by preventing writes, it avoids most of the inconsistency problems. If there's additionally a reminder that AFS is "diconnected" then I don't see why the remaining consistency issues would be problematic. In particular, readonly means you can't lock the file.
