Wouldn't UNIONFS and NULLFS be just as suited to being implemented in
userland as any filesystem?
I anticipated some daemon vaguely akin to amd which handles requests to
union and null mounted filesystems. And portalfs, etc, etc. Any
filesystem that is more-or-less a redirection service.
If the user VFS API was ready you might also get more filesystem
developers. Or lower quality filesystem developers. Or a free set of
steak knives.
