I don't know why the AFS community continues to support this convention
which breaks location independence. *shrug*.
Okay, "support" was a bad choice of words, why its supported should be
pretty obvious. It'd still be nice to see some alternatives more widely
discussed.
How about some suggestions or even better, code?
No code necessary, just don't use it.

Relevant stuff starts on page 9.
Maybe I'm too used to the concept, the way it is now, but I don't have any
problems with that.
I never had.
Sorry, but I don't see your point. What exactly is breaking location
independence?
Consider if you have:
/afs/newyork.cell/home/horst
And then you get sent to the bangalore office for an extended period of
time and now your home cell is /afs/bangalore.cell. There are ways to
deal with this, but if you go down this path long enough to its logical
end you wind up not liking the /afs/<cell> convention very much...
