You certainly did not address:

Nope, and I don't intend to. reflink() is a snapshotting call,
not a kitchen sink.
BTW, the "kitchen sink" argument is bull!
All we are saying is have 1 syscall with 1 vfs operation that
does exactly the same thing except:
if (FLAG_SHAPFILE) {
if (not CAP_FOWNER)
return -EPERM
newfile.attrs = old_file.attrs
) else
newfile.attrs = user_default_create_attrs
I really think your objection is all because you are
hung up on your reflink() API that has NO EXISTING USERS!
