there's a group called Rosetta that came out of another meeting at the GSoC

their biggest problem was lack of driver support, and the Rosetta group is an
effort to define a way to address that.
they kinda started by re-defining UDI without realizing it, but since have. the
group was dominated by *bsd folks, but we're not the only oddballs involved.
we'll see if we can get anything useful out of it. hopefully something more
manageable than UDI.
Given that the four BSD's don't even grok each other's disklabels or UFS all
that well, I'll not hold my breath while awaiting miracles...
Given FAT(n)'s limitations, it is a tad ironic that one of the more 'universal'
fs (long name, case-sensitive, and UTF-8 capable) with which to share portable
HDD/flash between and among Mac and all of the other *BSD's is ...
ext2...

.. and perhaps Fossil?
