Yeah, this is pretty much the future for filesystems in Linux & Windows. I know Microsoft is planning on getting rid of NTFS (FAT/FAT32 are pretty much already on the way out) fairly soon and replacing the filesystem with a SQL database. The last I heard,this was planned on being released after 2 more major versions of Windows. ReiserFS is already going in this direction as you said, and the filesystems that choose not to will probably eventually become unpopular to all but a select few since this is a better way to do things compared with the current system.
