> polluting the namespace Yeh this seems to be the primary problem. You would basically use uuids and end up with your files in a sort of database. I think this often scares people because they don't know where something definitively lives anymore...and you rely on a tool to access your stuff. Some people actually prefer a definitive location for things...in order to build a mental map to come back to things. When I am coding I know where to find things quickly based on the shape of the folder structures I browse. Folders just seem natural with many analogies to the physical world...whereas graph clouds such is with tagging are rare. But I think we must remember that the file system is essentially a database with a tool that one relies on to access the underlying bytes on disk.
