As an university, we seriously considers to move towards AFS and we
also interpret "registered entities" as entries in the KAS
server. However, with the number of students we have, AFS is very
expensive compared to our limited budgets and until now, we have not
been able to find the funding for a full deployment.

Yes - but what can we point at? Coda? (which is not supported on our
Sun servers and which is rumored to be far from stable enough). What
is the other alternatives? Arla is a step in the right direction, but
milko needs a lot of work...

So...?
