Let's see:  svr1,svr2,svr3,svr3.2,svr4...  Seems like they come out with

My experiences with AFS have been that it's slow as molasses, and has no
support for diskless machines.  I think much of it is done with additions to
the BSD kernel, and I've heard that it's been done to AIX now.

BSD-only code is more accessible, but things with AT&T code still in them
are still a real pain.
