Optimizing file systems for disc rotational latency is so last century.
It's not clear that modern file systems are doing a very good job of that anyway; WAFL, ZFS, and Btrfs all deliberately fragment data to some extent. Besides 4K partition alignment, it's not clear that modern SSDs with pure page-mapping FTL benefit from any filesystem optimizations.
