IMHO cachefs is a big deal particularly now that the NFSv4 delegation
code has been merged.
For those unfamiliar with the changes from NFSv3 -> NFSv4, one of the
many nice features of v4 is that it has sane caching. A file can be
"delegated" to the client, such that, the client has complete control
over the file including caching. Sorta like a lease. Great for
cachefs, IOW. :)

Yay, a user :)
