So we can return to this discussion when every man and his dog have such smart filesystems - including embeded devices etc.

Don't forget to also return to the fact, that not every man and his dog
want replication, versioning, transactions/rollbacks etc.
And many of those who need, can do this with filesystems + there own
scripts. Just regular cron /etc [or parts of /etc] [incremental] backups
satisfy many men and dogs.
So the new system will give drawbacks only for those men and dogs.

Continuing this nice logics, there is no need for a unified configuration system altogether - just as everyone has been adjusting dozens of different configs during the last twenty years of mainstream Unix usage, so we can do it further on. Right?
