I thought the conclusion was that SoftUpdates which comes with 
FreeBSD had many advantages over typical journalling FS's.  See
the following postscript research paper:

http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/papers/usenix2000.ps

As for my pet(ty) ideas, is sysinstall in the midst of a rewrite like 
the source has implied for a while now?  If not, I have a list of 
bugs/oversights somewhere that I wouldn't mind seeing addressed. 
(mostly user interface stuff)
