One of the big stumbling blocks is that the vendors
(including Sun) don't document how to write add-on
filesystems. In part this is because the interfaces
are subject to change.
Sun's release of Solaris source (currently ovedue)
should make tracking its changes easier, as well as
discouraging unnecessary changes...
