These are all very good points in favor of olpcfs to me.

Personally I'm pretty much sold on the design. And I'm all for
experimenting with it on a branch (try to port journal and a few
activities), even if it's not a priority for August. Are you aware of
any showstopper in this regard? Feature wise it seem to be pretty much
there already.
