Yes. Great Idea! But why do you think it isn't More Popular?

Because IT's Horribly Broken! DO NOT EVER USE IT!

Peter, Bryan, you wanna take this one?

can anyone talk about cachefilesd?  i think it caches local files and
works with ext4 already.  it's not clear how the data eventually gets
to the NFS server once it becomes avaialble though.
