I think this is generally true for weird things like fakeroot. Back when, this was my general intention for weird things, but then along came nifty libraries that subsume a lot of the work--making us think we should try really hard to use them. At the same time the diskfs implementation of dir_lookup was getting more and more complex. But I concur that fakeroot should implement dir_lookup itself, directly. At the same time, we might find there are convenient chunks of code that could be shared between fakeroot, netfs, and diskfs, which might be moved into fshelp. (However, it's not very clear to me if there will really be many of those.)
