Do we want to switch to using LDAP instead of Hesiod for group
information on Athena 10? This would solve the problem where people fall
off of groups when they're on too many, and also get rid of this weird
usage of NFS groups - i.e. why should I have to make something an NFS
group instead of an AFS groups to be able to use it in a Unix ACL?

Does anyone have opinions on this?
