You don't need to persuade anyone - or even discuss anything with anyone - on the LKML to write a filesystem driver.
You only need to do that if you want the fs driver to be incorporated directly into the monolithic Linux Kernel as an embedded - out of the box - open source featureset of the Linux Kernel.
Are you saying it's easier on Windows than it is in Linux to get your filesystem driver merged into the Windows Kernel and be released as part of the official O/S as distributed directly from Microsoft?
