I'm not talking about who leads and who follows, nor even about code; implementation isn't the point (although not doing something twice without a good reason is always nice), but consistent behavior, unless there's a _very_ good reason to behave differently. Perhaps it would be more useful to be consistent with Windows or MacOS in deciding how to handle hybrid filesystems; not in terms of supporting all the variants, but in terms of mounting one vs all, as well as anything data-aware or interactive (i.e. anything other than a fixed preference order) for, if one was the approach, choosing which of those supported to mount. But the point is to be consistent with something that has greater volume than Solaris, for ease of user comprehension, as well as to do something that's acceptable for both interactive and non-interactive use.
