Ultimately, we're just working on a different problem space than these protocols. That's not to say that all of the existing protocols are bad, I absolutely believe that these protocols are great. Our ultimate goal, though, is to replace block storage, with a file-layer protocol. This sort of requires different semantics than what the existing file protocols support.

I don't at all disagree that it's a hard problem! That's part of what makes it so fun to work on.
