Indeed it is - but only by either creating a new filesystem (the old
RCFS), or relying on an existing filesystem (configfs) which has
limitations which make it unsuitable.

I agree that from userspace mkdir is a usable and intuitive interface.
But I'm not convinced that the userspace gain is worth the complexity
that produces.

Anyhow, I'd not have any argument against the current reliance on
configfs, if there was a way to make use of seq_file or some other
less-constrained interface for returning things like group members,
stats, etc.
