I don't care if we change the name.  I suppose we can discuss
alternatives outside of the mailing lists, but I'd rather not do
boazfs or avishayfs :-)

By the way, just to clarify: I wrote this file system at IBM, but they
were nice enough to give me full ownership of the code.  I then
proceeded to put the code up on sourceforge.  Thanks to Boaz and Benny
for reviving the code and submitting it for inclusion in the kernel.
