description must be unique. "home" cannot be reused. We need a way
to remove "home" from the submount list.

(16) WinAFS configuration values are still stored in old style INI files
instead of using the Registry. This is especially important for
per-user values such as drive mappings

and service thread initialization.

Notifications are not made to requestors when the view of a file
or folder changes due to token acquisition; token expiration; or
token destruction
-(30) Microsoft Office appears to have trouble editing files of ~20MB
- or larger from within AFS. Performance is particularly slow and
- applications such as Word often crash upon saving the files.
+(29) The Cache Manager Flush routines do not return or check error

+(30) Remove submount creation as a side effect of AFS drive mapping.
+
+ The AFS Submount is effectively a server side alias for a path
+ located in the AFS space. This alias is exported by the AFS
+ SMB/CIFS Server to the Windows SMB/CIFS client as a Share name.
+ This makes the AFS Submount a system global setting which should
+ only be modified by a member of the "AFS Client Admin" group.
-(31) The Cache Manager Flush routines do not return or check error
- codes.
+ afs_creds.exe and afs_config.exe should be modified to no longer
+ use submount names when creating drive maps. Drive maps should
+ simply use the full AFS path name. Submounts should not be
+ created as a side effect of a drive mapping.
+
+ The creation of submounts should only be possible via afsshare.exe
+ or by the new AFS Client Service Administration tool when executed
+ by an authorized user.
