To his objections I can offer only "eh". Having better optimized Vorbis software would be nice; If he doesn't want to do it, he's certainly well within his rights and I for one bear no grudge for what he does with his free time, but his objections are too theoretical.

The Arla folks could implement an AFS-compatible client (before OpenAFS existed with the pathetic ancient and non-existant specs that existed up until that point, so perhaps you can understand why I'm at best unsympathetic.

That reminds me, one of these days I should really build hostafsd for ARM, so I can export the contents of my empeg via AFS.
