block-based storage (e.g. iscsi, svm projets, maybe others?) and
filesystems (with the projects mentioned above).
i.e. create a generic Filesystems community and grandfather the existing
FS-related communities as projects, maybe adding more related projects at
the same time.
While I agree, there is the not-so-small problem that there currently is
no mechanism in the charter to "grandfather" communities into other
communities demoting them to projects in the process. Moreover, the
communities being absorbed would have to agree to this occurring... and
defining exactly what "agree" means for an entire community is a bit of a
dilemma.
The end result of all of this is I don't expect to see any community
restructuring soon, because it's sufficiently difficult to drive any sane
person away. :/
That was probably me, speaking of Erez Zadok's FiST work on stackable
filesystems:

Yes that was it, thanks.
