Nor is it ever likely to. Filesystems are vastly superior now than
when certain other DBMSs were designed to use raw devices, and for
PostgreSQL to replace the average filesystem now with something as
reliable, performant and well tested would take a significant amount
of effort for little, if any, gain.
