What makes you say that's where it belongs?  That is, do you have any
specific reasons to cite, or is this just your (and/or various others')
opinion(s)?  (Personally, I think it belongs at the kernel/user
crossing; it's a far better defined and substantially smaller
interface, each of which makes compatability easier.)

Do you have any responses to the "new kernel, old filesystem"
subthread?  I don't recall seeing you either explicitly express a
desire to desupport that or explain how you would preserve it.  Perhaps
I missed something.
