  <Not necessarily on-topic> Maybe something like network storage
device access?  Maybe a filesystem server who used a
network-accessible store could turn out to be better than nfs.  Just a
thought.

  <Even more not necessarily on-topic> If there turn out to be good
reasons why multiple users would want write access to the same file
hierarchy without clobbering each others' work, probably shadowfs will
be the way to do it.
