Same goes for vfs capabilities. Moving this down into individual filesystem seems like a maintenance nightmare where now each individual filesystem will have to remember to fixup their ids. For namespaced vfs caps which are handled at the same level in setxattr() it will also mean breaking backwards compatible translation from non-namespaced vfs caps aware userspace to namespaced vfs-caps aware kernels.
