I have, with the a recent snapshot. It needs a few more months worth of
polishing, even the installation process itself is a bit complicated. I
wasn't able to get it working, though I only spent an evening on it.
My understanding is that OpenAFS is relatively new, and the code "sat in
cold storage" for a long time while it was commercial but only
half-heartedly marketed and supported. From that point of view, OpenAFS
has come a long way in a short amount of time.
