   For AFS-related services (or things that use
   afs) which server the service is on seems irrelevant, which is
   why we have one afs key for each cell rather than for each
   server. 

This is very, very wrong.  It means that the comprise of one AFS
server in a cell means that all servers in the cell have been
comprised.  There is no reason that a comprise in b11 shound break the
security of machines in e40.

Zephyr also loses in this fashion (in my opinion).
