For 99% of users, they install OpenAFS to access the data in one cell.

The reason that NetIdMgr supports the ability to obtain tokens for
multiple cells from one Kerberos principal is due to the fact that
a small number of power users such as myself need that functionality.
However, today the vast majority of your users are only obtaining data
from a single location.

Your "cell" is a "site".  It has its own authentication service and
provides its own name space.
