The difficulty here is - what should packagers build? If DAFS isn't on by 
default, then most folk won't actually get the benefit of running it unless 
they build their own AFS servers. I suspect that shipping 1.6 with dafs 
disabled by default isn't actually going to result in much perceived change 
over 1.4.

I wonder how hard it would be to ship both versions of the fileserver side by 
side ...

Cheers,

Simon.
