Don't worry. This _will_ happen - it's pretty high up on my list, actually. The reason it didn't make it into 2.0 was that I considered it less important than read caching (in general I tend to think read performance is about ten times as important as write performance), and because it has some very nasty issues that I didn't feel comfortable about fixing in the late 1.3.x series.
My _personal_ plans for 2.1 will be the i386 kernel mapping change (kernel mapped at high virtual addresses, no separate user segment) and right after that (it should be a few days of coding once I get started on the 2.1 tree) I'll start on the NFS and networking stuff.
(In fact I hope that Olaf may beat me to it when it comes to NFS - he knows NFS much better than I do anyway).
