"incidentally, I'm -1 on the "laughfs" term. I have no idea what it  
refers to."

The answer is: 1. it is a unique name, unlike "Tahoe" which collides  
with several other things:

http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2008-February/000409.html

  2.  It denotes the filesystem design itself, as distinct from the  
current implementation.

And it stands for "Least Authority Unmanaged Grid File System".

P.S.  I've almost gotten used to "foolscap"...  ;-)
