The mentioned functionality does not depend on a centralized file store.

That's the point I'm trying to make, it's not "complexity that wins us a

bunch of nice features", it's just complexity.
At most what is required for some of them is the session manager know

about registered /sessions/.  This is a dramatically different thing

than building a prison for all /files/.  While not bulletproof (you

could have sessions on a removable drive), it's not really a problem

because it doesn't impose anything on apps.

Lack of a centralized file store does not mean large files would be

duplicated.
