+* [done] Make sure libtool is used properly elsewhere, in particular to install
shared versions of libafsrpc and libafsauthent, which we ship in
1.6 but do not currently install on master

we can't block the branch indefinitely on it.)

on a variety of linuxen.

+* Document KeyFileExt and how to migrate keys from 1.6 to 1.8 format
+* Document asetkey list for KeyFileExt keys
+* remove vos release -stayup
+* Investigate volume header update issues; volume update time is not
+ changed by admin operations that alter metadata such as quota, which

+Things to be done before 1.8 release (but not necessarily before branching):
+
+* Documentation fixes (which ones?)
+* Investigate "lockless path through d_revalidate" for potential issues (?)
+* Consider defaulting Unix CMs to have crypt mode be the default, and use
+ authenticated connections to the VL server.
Things to be removed from 1.8 post-branch:
* rip out LWP support
* it is tempting to remove kauth, but probably not possible due to agreements with IBM.
* `make dest` support? Pretty-please?
+* upserver
+* non-DA fileserver and associated bitmap-later and fast-restart configure knobs
