Hi, J.
I'd be interested in seeing some expansion on why shared mem was
undesirable and why the NFS interface was not the way to go.
Particularly the latter, as people have been suggesting this
occasionally.
This was thrashed through a number of months back on the gnome list.
The debate concerned whether the exercise of unifying FTP/HTTP/etc with
filesystems should be done in user space or the OS. User space won out
(A VFS library, but limited to gnome apps only) because gnome is not
just for linux.
But the consensus was that if this were to be done in the OS, the NFS
hook should be the way because that gives the best shot at cross-Unix
portability.
