Phoronix has an article up about some interesting ideas of Lennart Poettering about what could be a possible future for Linux:
Lennart Poettering of systemd and PulseAudio fame has published a lengthy blog post that shares his vision for how he wishes to change how Linux software systems are put together to address a wide variety of issues. The Btrfs file-system and systemd play big roles with his new vision. Long story short, Lennart is trying to tackle how Linux distributions and software systems themselves are assembled to improve security, deal with the challenges of upstream software vendors integrating into many different distributions, and "the classic Linux distribution scheme is frequently not what end users want."

From what I've heard about this guy there's no way in hell I want him to be mucking around with how my data is stored on my own damn hard drive.
Oh yeah, let's make Journaling 2.0: The Sexy Time Right Way. Only unfortunately you have to rewrite the entire operating system around it and it coincidentally has a 50% chance of corrupting all your data.
