I've already addressed that. A new filesystem such as the one he's working on would, one hopes, be used by an increasing number of people. Whereas I expect that the already-tiny number of people who use OMFS will *fall* over time. Guys, a few years ago Linus's rule of thumb for merging an FS was, approximately, "it is already being shipped by distros". The bar is _much_ lower than that now. Largely because I personally think that it should be.
