Why don't we just have one filesystem, think of the advantages.....

I don't try to get other people to follow my lead anymore, I just ship
code that works.  Putting it into VFS requires getting others to follow
my lead.  Ain't gonna happen.  Getting them to leave me alone to
innovate in my corner of the kernel?  Might happen if I fight for it,
but it will be a real struggle.
