That's a bad reason.
It's possible that you misunderstood me -- I'm not asking for one of the famfses to be merged for 7.4, I'm asking for you as the vfs maintainer to work with John (and Miklos) to choose which implementation survives, and which one dies, before 7.4 goes out. I'm encouraged by John and Miklos having a call yesterday that John reported to be productive. --D
