I agree that some of the methods Tux3 uses to implement data integrity, sync and friends may be worth lifting up to core, or better, to a library, but we will all be better served if such methods are given time to mature first. After all, that basically describes the entire evolution of the VFS: new concepts start in a filesystem, prove themselves useful, then may be lifted up to be shared. It is important to get the order right: prove first, then lift.
