Sure. Who can add me to the list?

We do use RHEL and CentOS. We're starting down the road of
transitioning many of our production boxes from Solaris, so we don't
have RHEL widely in production yet. On the CentOS boxes we *do* have,
we're using the OpenAFS.org RPMs.
I've read a lot of the discussions on openafs-info regarding
RPMfusion's conventions vs. OpenAFS's. Our RHEL deployment is at a
point where we could still shift over to your style with RPMfusion,
but it is going to depend on several factors. We're still evaluating.

I deploy widely on RHEL and have been chatting with Thorsten about how I
can help get rpmFusion's RHEL 6 support moving. I get lots of requests
for the other kernel modules that are in rpmFusion as well.
When I catch the OpenAFS folks grumblings about my packages I always ask
for bug reports and feedback. I've tried to patch their spec file, but
received little response. In any case, I need packages that follow the
FHS (although I've considered adding a sub-package that would lay out
symlinks to emulate the transarc paths). I also need packages in the
same kmod packaging standard as everything else. They are still using
the original kmodv1 standard. Basically, packages that are compliant to
Fedora's packaging guidelines.
