Exactly. Note that apart from open descriptors, there may be other links to the file on the old FS; it has to be clear whether writes to the file in the new FS change the file in the old FS or not. I'd rather say they shouldn't. Yes, this would be different from the normal rename(2) semantics with respect to multiply linked files. And yes, the semantics of link(2) should also be consistent with this.
