The current OSD architecture as represented by https://github.com/hwr/openafs-osd is not intended to be incorporated into the OpenAFS repository. It is a standalone service that can and should be developed independently of OpenAFS. There is some glue code that needs to be added to OpenAFS to permit third party modules to be loaded into OpenAFS but the overall impact on OpenAFS should be relatively small. Jeffrey Altman
