As long as we don't remove the ability to turn it off at runtime. I just
had a conversation today with someone who needs to run a client with a
restricted set of configured cells, and part of the solution is turning off
afsdb support on that client.
*) Remove the --enable-bos-restricted switch, and associated #ifdefs and
make this behaviour the default - it's still controllable from the
command line, and the
default case is safe.
I'm not convinced this should be the default.
*) Remove --enable-disconnected switch, and default the code to on. This
code has had a fair amount of testing, and there are currently no
performance issues with having it enabled by default. However, there are
still usability issues with the implementation.
If there are usability issues, why turn it on by default?
*) Make demand attach the default, but provide --disable-demand-attach-fs
to allow old-style fileservers to still be built
Uh... I'm sure the people working on demand-attach would love this, but
doing it requires making a decision that we won't release 1.6 until this
feature is actually stable enough for _everyone_ to use on production
servers, including people who don't know what they're getting themselves
into. I don't think we're there yet.
