This is the first time I've ever heard that codename, and you should really change it, because that name is already used for cloud-based security fuzzing from Microsoft Research. It's a great idea, though! Improving the UX of storage management is generally a good thing, in my view. Btrfs provides significant improvements in this regard, but there can be even more. Tools like SSM[1] were great attempts at making the LVM experience not suck. Cockpit does a good job of making handling storage management a lot more approachable, too. I'd be curious if you are only thinking of server cases, or if desktop cases are also being considered. Historically, projects like these from Red Hat are largely only for the server...
