I think going this way will lead to insanity.

I am slightly familiar with the VFS code and only because I was helping
Adrian Chadd at one point with the documentation of it.

Trying to have both the old and new next to eachother and doing comparisons
of the data will be a huge decrease in performance.

But that's a VFS newbie's take on it.
