The one viro is looking on for possible inclusion is overlayfs, not aufs.

Based on the email I read it seems like he would give consideration to any union namespace implementation. I would like to see a feature comparison though. Last I checked Unionfs/AUFS/overlayfs/unionmounts did not all provide the same functionality and I think that some of the features of AUFS might be needed for Docker.

"I *have* looked at unionmount lately, and the recent modifications dhowells
is doing there are closing most of my problems with that; on the other hand,
there's no fundamental reason why both can't get merged. Hell, might as
well resurrect aufs, while we are at it..." - Al Viro
