Poettering: Revisiting how we put together Linux systems

And if people CAN run this stuff over ext4, or xfs, or reiser (does anyone still use it :-), then maybe people will also be motivated to add these features to those file systems. Succeed or fail, it's all within the Linus philosophy of "show me you can do it, show me it's a good idea". That's the way you get new stuff into the Linux kernel, that should be the way you get stuff into Linux distros.

And succeed or fail, it's good for the developers to have a go :-)

Cheers,
Wol
