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.

Cheers,
