Understood that it may depend on where things stand in April, but: what
specifically do you think will be likely to require the attention of a
wider group of linux filesystem developers (ass opposed to just nfs
developers)?

I have nothing specific at this time. My thinking was to present the
what's and why's
of the prerequisites in high level and maybe provide an example.

At the time there where some reservations from people about some of the
added hooks and vectors. If there are still, we would like to hear them
and either address them or argue their validity.

OK.

I think this talk should be expanded with Jeff's suggestions. here:

quoted

- RichACLs
- Share/Deny mode support on open
- mandatory locking that doesn't rely on weirdo file modes

...

So the broader topic can be:
	"The things we want/need from the Kernel to make it exportable"

Agreed that no matter where we are there will likely be a long list of
thorny questions of that sort....
