   maintain.  In Kirk's case the main problem is a lack of in-code
   documentation of the very complex algorithms he uses in softupdates
   coupled with his propensity to hack up other parts of the system to
   crowbar pieces in (like the background bitmap writing code, the 
snapshot
   code, the major reliance on the precise actual implementation of other
   pieces of VFS system in order to be able to assume certain side effects
   which are also not documented anywhere in the code, and so forth).

did you have plans to support UFS2 ?

this will simplify the backport (?) of 5.x, 6.x installations to DFBSD.

Also, some of features are interesting (ACL mostly).

The snapshots are very cool, but i never get a stable system with that and
so, i don't care about it.
