Sure. You're proposing that we implement a single, golden multi-stream file format in the kernel. We could just as well do that in libmultistreamfileformat.so. But I'll grant that one cannot go adding new metadata to, say, C files this way. I don't know how useful such a thing is though. Remember that my main point is that there's a lack of coordination in userspace. Hell, there's none. Putting it in-kernel forces that coordination, and may be the way to go, but it's pretty sad.
