Well, as long as it's eventually moving towards the point where it can
fetch arbitrary blocks with some reasonably small blocksize, that's
probably good enough.

Are there likely to be any data corruption, crashes, or hangs (due
solely to nnpfs)? Or merely performance issues?

Would you throw rotten vegetables at me if it happened to appear in
the form of a native interface for Java code? Perhaps I shouldn't
have mentioned this. ;)

Something sort of like a cross between coda and sfs, but with a heavy
emphasis on simplicity over performance. And the ability to tunnel
over HTTP and DNS as last resorts.
