What do you think about OpenAFS?

It has *many* beautiful features:
* It's a network fs
* there exist clients for almost every operation system
* it can handle ACLs
* it can handle quotas
* you can build up a SAN-like environment with almost as many
  fileservers, as you want
* you can migrate data between the servers / make backups, while
  the system is running and no user will recognize it.

AND:
* No one need NFS anymore. :)
* Samba would only be needed for printing and browsing (WINS).

What do you think about this?
