I *really* hate to suggest this (since I often get annoyed
with such software), but should OpenAFS occasionally check
to see if updates exist and notify the user, especially on
the Windows platform?  (with all the opt-in/opt-out controls,
of course, especially for corporate environments where updates
are controlled.)

As OpenAFS is deployed more widely on Windows, old, obsolete,
bug ridden versions are going to become more and more a pain
to support, and people will not know they could have improved
functionality/reliability unless they get a "hint".

(I would duck, but I am too big a target to successfully hide.)
