Yes, but no. Node itself merely needs a standardized, pluggable layer of indirection in its file APIs. If someone wants to implement a VFS using that, that's cool.

Basically an "fs-core" that everything ultimately goes through, and which can be switched out/layered with another implementation. Think express-style routing but for the filesystem.

That'll keep things simple in node's codebase while handing more power to users.
