No. The existing Filesystem abstractions conflate namespace APIs and storage APIs and handle both poorly. It's time to break'em apart!

What we need is storage atom/fabric APIs that provide individual namespace (tagging, hierarchical or whatever) and storage (dedup/sync/versioning/replication or whatever) components to enable applications to innovate UX for each domain.

In the next a few years, we shall see the passing of traditional Filesystem APIs and blossoming of new storage APIs.
