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.
