It's always annoying when someone tells you your existing abstractions don't match your design documents, isn't it.? It's even more annoying when you don't have time to review the changes proposed to fix this with a suffient eye towrads the big picture that the changes actually make it in... }B-). Meanwhile, I still have a system with an OS image from June of last year that can support user space FS developement (but which would have a hell of a time with VM proxie, which would need a total rewrite) and a rudimentary GFS/JFS implementaiton that can read AIX disks enough to load /bin/sh. 8-P.
