This sort of thing fascinates me - more or less ordinary folks doing stuff that used to earn someone a PhD. Goes to show you that having some critical mass of participants leads to good things. The design is interesting and the writer seems to be doing a great job!
But it's also kind a dead end. Essentially nobody will use this. The two most important file systems are FAT (dating from a floppy disk file system in 1977) and NTFS, clearly a direct descent of DEC's ODS-2 which has roots in TOPS-20 and RSTS operating systems of the early 1970s.
I mean, every single USB thumb drive has a FAT system on it. Booting an ARM CPU requires a FAT filesystem. Windows, the standard corporate operating system, uses NTFS. Gefs will get installed on maybe 1000 systems if it's lucky.
