I'm struggling a little to understand what the overal purpose is
here. Can you step back a level and describe the overall problem
you're facing and what your use cases / goals are for this proposal.

The main purpose of this is to have a generic API to manage filesystems
similar to storage API and be able to use these filesystems in domain
XMLs defining containers.
So ,it is a kind of abstraction of filesystem sources and backends. Also
there can be some indirect benefits but they are not the aim.
