What about to the more interesting question who needs it. It think this
whole discussion who needs what and which approach is better is pretty much
moot as long as we don't have an intree users.

Instead of wasting your time on different designs you should hurry of
getting your filesystems encumbrance-reviewed, cleaned up and merged -
with intree users we have a chance of finding the right API. And your
newly started dicussion shows pretty much that with only out of tree users
we'll never get a sane API.
