Then we decided that we should leave them both in the tree until gvinum had the full functionality of Vinum. It's beginning to look like that's a bad idea. Lukas is (understandably) working only on gvinum, and since I know it's nearly there, I'm not going to do any further work on Vinum in FreeBSD 5. Given the problems, I'd suggest that we yank it.
