It's clear that our definitions of "neutral" differ. I mean offering a set of 
operations common to all OS' file systems; you seem to mean offering all 
possible operations for all OS' file systems.

I don't think that a pkg meeting what seems to be your meaning is possible 
within a reasonable effort. If you disagree, I'd like to see your version of 
such a pkg, including implementations for 2 significantly differing file systems 
(for example, one that maintains different versions of files and one that doesn't).
