Just out of curiousity, how "decayed" are the Union and Portal
filesystems,and, more importantly, is anyone working on them?

As my next exercise in futility (after character device drivers), I figured
I'd try taking on a file system. Anyone care to comment where they stand,
so I can make an educated decision as to whether I should go for it?
