Well...consider what's involved. The good reason is that a fully
cross-platform client architecture would have to include full programming for
the universe of file system types accommodated on all the supported platforms -
and additionally would have to adeptly provide a meta layer of emulation of the
wealth of system calls associated with the file system which is not native to
the receiving platform. That's an enormous amount of development and testing
and maintenance. I'd rather that their energies went toward things like 64-bit
clients, and administrative API, and long-overdue evolution of the terribly
neglected CLI.
