    Sorry, "accessible to all filesystems" is incorrect terminology (it's
    backwards). What I meant was something more like "able to access
    extended data from all filesystems". But I think everyone understands
    what I meant.

    Well, we could still have a flamewar about whether metafs is useful,
    what type of functionality it should provide, etc. I'm sure we could
    find something to argue about. ;-)

    From a purely philosophical/aesthetic/theoretical point of view, I like
    file-as-dir much better than anything else, and would be ecstatic it if
    Namesys was able to make it work. From a practical/technical point of
    view, metafs may be an acceptable compromise.
