In theory, wouldn't it be possible for the Linux kernel to also provide a URI "auto mount" extension too?

- yencabulator 11mo agoPaths are not full URIs. You can do hacks like /https:/example.com/foo but.. why? I'm personally not at all convinced having a scheme multiplexer in front is a good thing, for a namespace like what a kernel would manage. It's just not really any different from having top-level /foo and /bar, and introduces a bunch of special cases. Windows drive letters suck for a reason.
