I think "future proof" for other stackable f/s is a good idea, esp. since
many of the stackable f/s we've developed and distributed over the past 10
years are in some use in various places: gzipfs, avfs, tracefs, replayfs,
ncryptfs, versionfs, wrapfs, i3fs, and more (see www.filesystems.org).

Cheers,
Erez.
