Have some notes been posted about the Rx TCP transport design? Is there some Arla development going on in the same direction, as well (just checking, I didn't see anything on arla-drinkers)?
Well, the design work involved people from both groups, so yes, I believe there is concurrent development going on. I don't believe anything was posted, but Magnus left some notes from our design discussions in

It begins to appear to me, a modernizing Rx would be might more attractive as a general-purpose RPC mechanism for new programs than the various things I might have used in the past. Is that a naive view?
I don't think it's naive. I've always found Rx to be less of a pain to work with than SUNRPC, for a variety of reasons. I've used it in several projects, and I think that aside from the security issues that also affect AFS, it is suitable for such use even today. Most things have less demanding performance requirements than does a distributed filesystem.
