It's not me who needed a private AFS work area. As former maintainer I
considered the stuff in /afs/sipb/project/afs/build/i386_nbsd1 to be my
bailiwick.
However, it is Charles' actions (over time) which "broke the camel's
back." I asked him previously not to piss in my build trees, or at
least to do so in a compatible way with my package and module building
procedures. I even have scripts there which do all the magic necessary
to build modules without interference, but he chose not to use them. I
have much better things to do with my time than curse under my breath
and needlessly rebuild AFS components, so I chose to drop AFS.
Anyway, Bill Sommerfeld has volunteered to pick up AFS maintenance, so
it's all his bailiwick now.
