You forgot to include *anything* that in any way relates to journaling. 

As did others. 

Which leaves the question whetever you want a journaled filesystem at all,
or just a filesystem confirming to a lot of buzz-words. 

IMHO it would be good to have a journaled filesystem. 8-)

If it is extensible enough to easily allow a selection of the buzz-words
that have been thrown around, so much the better. But the utility of the
features would hopefully be tested before actually incorporated.

If somebody is making a list of 'features' then they should add:

	* Can optimise data placement for the case that the partition it
	  resides on is not located on a single spindel but resides on n
	  spindles.

Think of vinum, that is standard in the system.
