Speaking of which -- is there an easy way of implementing filtering filesystems? Something that would give a filter-server N existing [sub]trees and a set of instructions on how to reshuffle their content and represent it as a mountable output.

I don't see how to architect the system I d= iscussed without attributes.

I can...=

Build yo= urself a file server that provides the environment you want with attr= ibutes... don't inject it into the core system. =A0Store it for real = in fossil files with a certain format.

Done?

Plan 9's ability to have synthetic filesy= stems seems to do away with the need to change the way the core files= ystems work.
