-Candidate Features for Future Inclusion
----------------------------------------
-
-* online defrag (patches available but not well tested)
-* reduced mke2fs time via lazy itable initialization in conjunction with
-  the uninit_bg feature (capability to do this is available in e2fsprogs
-  but a kernel thread to do lazy zeroing of unused inode table blocks
-  after filesystem is first mounted is required for safety)
-
-There are several others under discussion, whether they all make it in is
-partly a function of how much time everyone has to work on them. Features like
-metadata checksumming have been discussed and planned for a bit but no patches
-exist yet so I'm not sure they're in the near-term roadmap.
-
-The big performance win will come with mballoc, delalloc and flex_bg
-grouping of bitmaps and inode tables.  Some test results available here:
