And I think "exporting" may be read with a *wink* after. If camlistore works properly, then you'll ingest data into it, and read stuff out as needed, but never really need to export. Also, a hash-based file storage is less limited than a tree file system, even with links (hard/soft) and macintosh extended attributes. camlistore has a wider range of use cases. Newbie-friendlyness is an upcoming feature :)
