  Very  much agreed.  I also noticed that man(1) for many of the filesystems 
actually link to the section 3 documentation about the API related to the fs in 
question.  So if we talk about some sort of cross-reference filesystems(8) (or 
(4)) page, those should be noted, where relevant, too.  But, I must admit I 
prefer the idea of having an actual description and history of the various 
filesystems in pages in section 4.  Some of this can be drawn from the 
mount_foofs(8) pages, much of it will, as noted, need subject-area-experts to 
write something up.
