Thanx :) , Yes the official maintainers can answer that question better.
For all i know unionfs is been publicized at lkml and there are talks
for the same.

Till recently, it just seemed to be an academic project. But now it has
gained momentum. I have used and extended 3 overlay file-systems .. and
this one seemed to be most promising and stable.

It has some very good features like - adding/removing branches (i.e
directories ) from a union.

But, i am just a fresh grad .. probably people out there and judge this
file-system better.

Currently my port works on 2.6.0 -to- 2.6.9 kernels .. but maintainers
are reviewing it .. would work on it.

Thanx,
Jaspreet
