"Logfs file system" might make sense. LOGFS_FS is something I would rather avoid. For some reason my brain reacts strongly to repetition, redundancy and superfluous information.

I keep hearing that and I also continue to forget it. It shouldn't matter either way, because it simply makes no sense to merge 15 seperate patches file-by-file for something that is functionally one change. The split is all about review and has nothing to do with merging.
But if I finally remembered it, at least these comments would cease. I'll try.
