Because that announcement was made months ago, and there is in fact server
code in the current i386_linux22 Transarc AFS (I don't know how functional it
is, but I suspect that only "bos" works currently; Transarc was reportedly
slating the Linux server for later this summer).
| Already before, TransArc (now owned by IBM!) has provided certain
| level of AFS filesystem *client* support for binary-only modules.

Originally they provided access for AFS licensees to the unofficial MIT port
of the AFS client; they now have an official AFS 3.5 client, and as I said
the server is supposed to be available later this year.
| To my knowledge (including all gossip I heard at Linux Expo), they
| are *not* doing same as SGI did with their XFS. No SOURCE release!

Source release of AFS? I sincerely doubt it. Although it'd be nice to see
AFS return to its roots....
(Meanwhile there's always Arla.)

We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
