Steve, yes, this makes sense, from my limited perspective as a non-user of imagemosiac. I am not aware of anyone using S3 storage for any data source in GeoTools.
There is an S3 blob store for GeoWebCache and corresponding extension in GeoServer, so S3 storage is in use at a different level in the GeoServer stack. The implementation is built on AmazonS3Client. Do you intend to use this with GeoServer? Kind regards, Ben.
