As I said in another mail I only used VFS because I wanted a memory
filesystem in other applications than jackrabbit, but I guess there are
cases on which a VFS backed filesystem can be a good choice.

With XMLPersistenceManager I agree with you that it's not very useful,
but another persistence implementation could allow jackrabbit to share
files with other systems (e.g. through webdav), maybe not very efficient
but sometimes integration with legacy systems is a must.

Besides, VFS might be useful if you don't feel like implementing a file
system from scratch.
