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.
