Has there been any talk about a Mac (MFS or HFS) FST being developed
for GS/OS in the near future ?

Here's the quote: Pg 127 after apple explains about the four current FST's (Prodos, character, High Sierra, and Appleshare): "Apple plans to make additional FSTs available in the future. See "The Operating System" in this section for more details." Pg 125 "Prodos 8 is now a mature system. It probably won't change much in the future. But GS/OS has already been expanded with the release of Apple IIgs system software version 5.0. Among its new features is an AppleShare FST that allows the operating system to use AppleShare file servers as disks. You can expect more of this kind of expansion for GS/OS in the future. Early versions of device drivers for the Apple Scanner and Apple Tape Backup unit are already avilable to developers. You can expect to see additionl FSTs for GS/OS as well, giving your existing software the capability to read disks it currently can't understand."
