It seems unlikely drive manufacturers would get excited about a sub-optimal solution that does not even approach using the full potential of the product.
You forgot the more important people
Mr Customer, would you like your data centre to use a new magic OSD fs or
the existing one you trust.
Now in my experience that is a *dumb* question because the answer is
obvious...
Plus, given the existence of an OSD-specific filesystem (exofs, at the very least), it seems unlikely that end users who own OSDs would choose the sub-optimal solution when an OSD-specific filesystem exists.
Actually until you can show zillions of users stably using them the

ready for the consumer market until 2011. That's not really going toAnd you have a similar sales job and lag time, when hacking -- read destabilizing -- a filesystem to work with OSDs as well as sector-based devices.
convince the disk vendors that OSD based devices should be marketed
today.
2011 sounds optimistic for major OSD adoption in any space except for
flash storage where OSD type knowledge means you can do much better jobs
on erase management.
