Dear David,

While this is a great move, it's also a little unfortunate, since it is the name of exactly one layered filesystem solution out of 4 existing ones (ignoring vaporware).
A neutral name would have been linux-layeredfs, and as long as nobody objects, I kindly ask you to rename it (as in creating such a ml, and silently phase out this one..). Given that 13 people are subscribed by now, that's hopefully acceptable for all participants.
BTW, all solutions organize the fs join by layering them. ;)
A layered fs user since about a decade, Pete
