We can't pick a bit, because there aren't any bits available. This

extension is disabled by default -- in its current form, it can
only be used when the site makes a deliberate decision to add non-
standard functionality.
So, it shouldn't be in the tree.
AFS should be a single, standard system, not some arcane combination
that differs according to the particular configure options which were
selected by each site. Users should be able to expect a consistent
experience across multiple AFS sites, especially for items which they
interact directly with such as ACLs.
Cheers,
