If you like Luoqi's patches more than mine, please go ahead and commit them. At least, I will not need to constantly sync my patches with -current. I made my patches mostly because I "really" need long file name support (I do some multi-platfom development...). So, if a working long file name support will be added to -current, I will be happy. Of course, I prefer to see my patches committed. I should clean up some things until (and if) they will be committed. If you want to commit my patches, tell me and I will do it. Also, I will appreciate review of my patches. Merging my and Luoqi's patches is somewhat difficult, since they are incompatible, and pointless, at least as a prerequistic. Such merge would not create something much better than each of these 2 patches, and there is far more important things, in msdosfs, in FreeBSD in general, and in my life.
