This is the first time I've ever heard that codename, and you should
really change it, because that name is already used for cloud-based
security fuzzing from Microsoft Research. It's a great idea, though!

Improving the UX of storage management is generally a good thing, in
my view. Btrfs provides significant improvements in this regard, but
there can be even more. Tools like SSM[1] were great attempts at
making the LVM experience not suck. Cockpit does a good job of making
handling storage management a lot more approachable, too.

I'd be curious if you are only thinking of server cases, or if desktop
cases are also being considered. Historically, projects like these
from Red Hat are largely only for the server...
