We sure would think it's a good thing to have, but the question is:
can you do it? You will need to know XFS, and NetBSD's filesystem code. If
you want to port an existing implementation, you need to be familiar with
that implementation, to write it from scratch (preferred, but much more
effort) you'll need to know even more.
Might be useful to know a bit about your experiences to judge if it's a
good project for SoC and _your_. :)
