File System in the menu is a great way to add bloat
I know this is just a rant but have you noticed that most people *know* what a certain file is but often forget where they
put the file, or they put it somewhere far far away subsequently cursing the long time it takes to get to it. It happens
to me and I doubt that I'm alone.

If I would get to choose something this:
http://www.gnome.org/~seth/storage/
would be it. So how about it? Why not throw more money/developers at it?
OSX and Longhorn brag about a feature like this and from my point of view this really is revolutionary... it could free a
lot of people from the tyranny of the file system.
