Operating systems and workflow systems have many concepts in common:

    * Processes
    * Threads <=> subprocesses
    * Files <=> documents
    * Applications <=> forms
    * Commands <=> actions
    * Authentication and security
It is proposed here to create a Linux variant where workflow features are explicitly coded at the operating system level. The aim is to make all applications workflow-ready, and to unify the workflow across all applications.

FILE UNDO\You do 

vi /etc/php.ini
and save then discover that you want to revert to the earlier version. You can then 
undo /etc/php.ini
or even 
undo vi /etc/php.ini
to undo the file modification. In the second undo call, though, the system has kept a log of all files affected by the original command and will thus revert them all back to their previous state. You need a journaling file system to do that, one that supports accessing past checkpoints.
