    Before I start asking what about XXX, is there a list of what major stuff
    is already considered to be in? I don't see some things on your list,
    perhaps you regard them as done.

    I really hope these do get in!

    I fear Keith might go SPC if this had to wait for 2.7

    I thought these were all progressing nicely

    Definitely want to stabilize these
    > o UDF Write support for CD-R/RW (packet writing) (Jens Axboe, Peter Osterlund)
    Hopefully this is close as well

    could ease in 2.6.x if not?
    > o Add support for NFS v4 (NFS v4 team)
    This really shouldn't wait for 2.8!
    > o Remove the 2TB block device limit (Peter Chubb)
    This would help db folks now, and who knows how big
    a single drive will be before 2.7?

    Sure would be nice if it worked on desktops as well as laptops

    I sure would like to see documentation improvements on this list! For 2.6
    it would be beautiful is no features went into /proc/sys unless they went
    into the Documentation directory as well.
