But you said you would still have a layer to provide user-friendly namespace, and a translation between that and the actual memory handles. You seem to think the current VFS is far more than that, that the current VFS does things like block-IO buffering and has other arcane IO related knowledge. So where does the VFS have anything like that?

The VFS doesn't. The fs layers and drivers do.

I think the discussion is pretty pointless now...
