I've not looked into the branch, because I'm assuming this is still
based on the same concept than the one you mentioned before(?). If so
it should still have the same problems I listed (I think multiple
times, so I feel this has been repeatedly ignore), where I mentioned
this was not the way forward. I've also mentioned in the past (also
multiple times), how I see this being handled, via the fsys metadata
work as its base, which I've been doing in the background, and where
any aliasing would be simply rejected, even though that cannot be
deployed yet, given that we'd currently get file type conflicts.

Thanks,
