The name "xino" is really confusing to me.
I know what aufs xino is, and also understand what problem overlayfs
wants to solve. For those who knows these two points,
- the same name with totaly different implementation
- very similar option usage
is very bad.

I never say that "xino" name is patented and only aufs can use it, but
I'd ask you to change the name to help (future) users from confusing.
