It's a nice piece of code, and I hope it is successful but it's too difficult to keep up with external patches. I think it needs to be in the main kernel. That's the only way it will ever get wide testing and new developers interested. I hope this becomes a high priority for Ed Shishken and whoever else still works on this project. Also, due to some reputational issues, a name change would be good for the filesystem's future. I would suggest "dancefs" for the dancing trees. Has a nice ring to it, and parallels the naming convention used for other competing filesystems like btrfs which is also named after a data structure. Also "plugins" have been controversial, they could be renamed to "filesystem objects" for the same reason which probably more accurately describes the abstraction anyway. Just some observations from a long time lurker, feel free to listen or ignore as you like.
