For this filesystem, it's going to be a _lot_ of work before that can happen, and I'd really like to have lots of people help out with it instead of it living in random github trees for long periods of time. Putting it in the kernel lets all of the people that have been spending time on this work together in one place. Given that the vfs apis change so infrequently, I don't really understand the objection here. If you change apis in the rest of the kernel, don't worry about anything in drivers/staging/ I will fix that up. This code has a much smaller api-interaction-level than lots of the drivers that are currently living in staging. thanks, greg k-h
