This is how it should be configured for other platforms as well.

I'm not as familiar with the Windows client as with the other
platforms, but do you mean that "if unspecified, the client will not
use afsdb; however, the installer will specify afsdb unless told
otherwise by the user during installation"?  That would make sense.

(1) Administrators who install a restricted CellServDB file to limit the
accessible cells will no longer find their client's restricted to the
specified list

Ok, good point.

Note that the smart thing for said admins to do is use a transform or a customized installer, but we have no transform tool for MacOS (yet. I have plans...)

(2) Users will experience delays where there weren't any before when
accessing /afs/foobar where foobar is not a cell listed in either
CellServDB or DNS.

True, but probably an extremely infrequent event.

Depends if you have an dumb scripts.
