(and could) never be more than an experimental beta that should never be
relied upon fully in a production environment.  If you want RAID, you get a
RAID controller.  If you like to play with explosives and are trying to get
away with cheap or free, by all means play with Vinum or its other software
siblings.

Finally, as to HTML e-mail, whether you like it or not its here to stay, and
