It is then simple to follow that train of logic:  why not make it easy
to replace the directory algorithm [and associated metadata]?  or the
file data space management algorithms?  or even the inode handling?
why not allow customers to replace a stock algorithm with an exotic,
site-specific one?

IMVHO, such experiments should/must be done in userspace. And AFAICS, they
can today.

inode handling?  Really?

But what's wrong with people doing such experiments outside the kernel? AFAICS, "exotic, site-specific one" is not something that would be considered for inclusion.
