Sigh.  I've already addressed that.

A new filesystem such as the one he's working on would, one hopes, be used
by an increasing number of people.  Whereas I expect that the already-tiny
number of people who use OMFS will *fall* over time.

Guys, a few years ago Linus's rule of thumb for merging an FS was,
approximately, "it is already being shipped by distros".  The bar is _much_
lower than that now.  Largely because I personally think that it should be.
