I read through the doc. We have company so I couldn't spend a lot of time on it. 

I like the toolkit nomenclature. It's better than ADC.

I have the same question that's highlighted in the doc. "Is this true - specifically, are there any other file-system peculiarities we have to worry about, or can everything else be handled through the VFS?"
