i think we can assume that the Linux filesystem architecture goes only 'forward', so things will keep getting cleaner and it will be more and more easy to integrate new filesystems. The fact that Linux now supports 27 different filesystems (plus 10+ more whcich are not yet in the main tree) i think underscores this trend. So if a filesystem is already multiplatform-abstracted, it should not be _too_ hard to support 'yet another platform', 2.2/2.4 in this case. And this is the reason why we'd very much like to get feedback on what particular features/interfaces you are missing badly when porting stuff from NT to Linux, both sides of the fence have alot to learn i think :)
