	I'd love to hear about the issues as well.  I'd also love to see
what you require, so as to either be able to explain how configfs can do
it for you, or to say that configfs isn't the right fit.  configfs is
designed with a particular goal, and some things don't fit that - and
that's fine.


	You probably expect me to be all "configfs solves world peace,
how can you hate it?"  Nah.  I'd really like to understand your need and
how configfs doesn't fit.  configfs may not fit.  configfs may fit and
I need to explain it better.  Or configfs may not fit but should, and we
then can see how to make it right.
