Perhaps you should ask Andrew?

This is an unreviewable amount of code, it would make AUFS one of the
biggest filesystems on linux.

The first step would be to separate out the very core functionality,
which should be a couple thousands of lines max. And when that has
been accepted and stabilised, then you can start adding fancy
features.
