Comment (by chaion07):

 Thanks @vladimir_kolesnikov for reporting this. We discussed this ticket
 during a recent bug-scrub session. Here's the summary of the feedback
 received:
 01.  Colin volunteered to contact Paul to ask if he thinks this will get
 attention in the next couple of weeks and to discuss what's needed and
 summarize it later.
 02. The ticket was punted to 6.3 just before 6.2 Beta 4. So it might have
 some time to get resolved.
 03. As this touches the Filesystem API component, we would realy be
 hesitant to leave it in the milestone any longer than that.

 Props to @costdev for the contribution.
