I think because he's getting conflicting feedback. The arguments against
it being that it's not a good match, however it's the same match created
for streams, and no one complained then, and it's an existing user ABI.
FDP is a the new "streams", so I really don't see a big deal here. I
understand you have use cases that have filesystems intercept the hints
for different types of devices, but I don't see these use cases as
mutally exclusive. Supporting this one doesn't prevent other uses.
