Ask the Linux Standards Committee.

Actually I think you just make one up and advertise it widely.
And then people who hate you use it for something else and change
the license on their interface and....

means there are no actual linux filesystem type numbers because it's

Since it clearly is possible and there's a minor shitload of them out
there, it must be doable. On the other hand, in spite of Marcus'
comments about asking the right question, it's not at all clear what
the right question is. Derricks comment above leads me to believe
there's history here that clearly isn't known to all. So before the
rest of us who think having a fs_type is a good thing go out and
start spinning our wheels, can some of you gatekeepers do a history
dump for us?
