Translucent File System (TFS) for SGI ??

While reading the October issue of "The Sun Observer", I ran across an
article on the Translucent File System.  The ability to mount file systems
over others and being able to see both would be of tremendous use when
dealing with multiple hosts in porting environments.  The example given
in the article of having one master source and then each porting host
mounting via TFS over the source, allows for all porting hosts to do
makes with one set of source without having to deal with individual copies
of the source or massive amounts of soft links to make it "look" like
it was the same build environment.

Does anyone know if SGI has plans to support TFS??  What about 3rd party
vendors if SGI isn't going to offer it?
