I got excited for a moment, but then I saw, "This server contains protocols that support Linux metadata, including permissions."  It's going to be 9p2000.L or yet another incompatible fork of the protocol.

I'm still annoyed with Microsoft for not publishing an interface for network filesystem drivers; it makes it hard to have a reliable Windows AFS client which otherwise would be ideal for my mobile usage plans.  The only option for Windows 10 seems to be an AFS-SMB bridge, but the OpenAFS website complains of breakage due to Microsoft moving SMB's bugs around.
