"tfs" and other filesystems with very short names

Is it a good idea to add new filesystems with such short names?  We just
went through a process of renameing "cfs" to "coda" because of a name
clash.  I'd prefer to see see "tfs" renamed to "ustarfs" now, rather than
wait for another name clash later.
