Interesting question, and perhaps the possible use cases should be defined before a design is made. I mean it is not like we're about to equip whole schools and offices with 8-bit Commodore gear starting in 2018. I understood the original intent was to hook up a couple of computers to a single drive (perhaps a HDD on the IEC bus) in your home environment. While you indeed could have visitors or run some software that accesses drives on its own, the idea of several computers and drives in some kind of star net perhaps never will exist. Feature creep can be a good thing as long as those are features that actually are requested in real life, but orthogonally designing a system for every thinkable possibility that will make it more difficult to design, probably more expensive and take longer time as well, should be thought twice about.
