Anyway, one point here is that it is useless implementing something like this if there is not a really good consistent UI for it. One thing users hate about Windows is it hiding what it does, and at present we aren't any better. Maybe before adding new incomprehensible features (ie ones without a good UI), we should have UIs for the incomprehensible features we already have. ACL support in Konqueror/Nautilus would get my vote. When rollback is available in at least one filesystem (probably Reiser4 some time after kernel 2.6.1 is out) it may be worthwhile adding a UI for it. In the meantime, let's get ACL support back in ext2/3, and have a UI for it.
