So you broke one of the most important features of afs, the global name space. Why?
'Cause we're stupid? 'Cause I didn't want to make an already too long message even longer?
Actually, we thought it was convenient at first, and it's come back to bite us repeatedly. We try very hard to make all the references in packages spell the cell name out -- isis.unc.edu -- and I think we've got it that way almost everywhere. It's convenient not to type ".unc.edu" a couple hundred times a day. Whether it's worth it is an open question. (BTW, '/afs/isis.unc.edu' is also a mount point for volume 'root.cell'.)
