It occurred to me that OpenAFS is only one step away from a

enable dynroot by default on install, and the only remaining
configuration option is what to use for ThisCell.

If there were a configuration-free client scenario, OpenAFS would
probably have a better chance of getting shipped by-default by more
linux distributions, and by Apple (in Mac OS X)....


When you are using dynroot you really don't need to have a ThisCell.
At least not for the AFS client.   ThisCell is primarily used to
determine which cell is used to obtain the root.afs volume.

it also can be used to determine what cell to get tokens for by things like pam, and aklog.
