Not so.
When JRO and the unionFS project parted ways, he left behind the parts of the original design that he saw as stumbling blocks to an effective design.
Which left him with a minimal feature set and then he worked forward from that point. The auFS-version-1 rarely gets any mention in recent years.
I don't recall at the moment what was the major change between auFS-version-1 and auFS-version-2.
With the change from auFS-version-2 to auFS-version-3 JRO did another 'feature strip' of his own project to eleminate rarely needed and difficult to maintain features.
The 'they' in this project is a single person and over the years it has been a very impressive, single person, project to follow.
