Hi Kent, I thought you'd follow Christians proposal to actually work with people to try to use common APIs (i.e. to use iomap once it's been even more iter-like, for which I'm still waiting for suggestions), and make your new APIs used more widely if they are a good idea (which also requires explaining them better) and aim for 6.7 once that is done. But without that, and without being in linux-next and the VFS maintainer ACK required for I think this is a very bad idea.
