I'm glad that research papers don't start with "we've analyzed linux kernel 2.6.18 sources (because this is what we had on our lab machines) and determined that ext3 is the best filesystem for our research purpose and now present you with a novel idea of using high-tech device on that". The paper acknowledges modern features, takes design from other filesystems (mentioned BTRFS and tree structures). Overall the idea is interesting and promising.
