If they would be considered as one, it wouldn't be LVM anymore. LVM is a
pure block device layer, and as such will always have to FS layered
above.

However, stuff like Solaris ZFS does make sense, too, if you ask me.
Having a filesystem managing several block devices allows for pretty
neat stuff, such as per-file replication or striping, which would be
really sweet.

That said, such a thing would, of course, be completely unrelated to
LVM.
