Sigh.

If you look at the code in FreeBSD, you'll note that FFS uses several
routines from UFS.

If you look at UFS, the opposite is not true.

Take a look at what FFS is ... the on-disk storage format for the file
system, and things to manipulate it.

Take a look at what UFS is ... directory stuff, inode handling, quaota
handling, ACL handling, etc.

There is a clear separation of the two sets of functionality.

Now, take a look at the code in NetBSD.  You'll see a similar separation
of functionality ... UFS for the high-level Unix file system stuff, FFS
and LFS providing the on-disk storage support.
