OpenAFS can't go in extras, the license isn't compatible with the GPL
(and thus the kernel license)
I'm not going to bite on that, sorry :). All I know is that there are
some packaging OpenAFS at the moment with the intention of getting it into
Extras.
yes extras has SOME security issues. But it's not the same. There is a
difference between having to fix a roothole in 15 different kernels and
building 15 modules, and having to fix it in one, and then potentially
rebuild a few outside modules. Just in build time alone, but also in
complexity and testing.
Yes, DaveJ already pointed that out. I stand corrected, sorta :).
