Well, if more and more people keep asking, writing about it in their 
blogs.  It's not something we talk about.  And the more people talk 
about, the more others will think about it, and say: yeah, that's a good 
idea.  Hmm, I bet I could add that in easily.

Sean: next time you add one in, or now, please document and blog about 
it.  Post it to the community forums, etc.

FYI, FreeNAS comes with Bacula built in.  It'll soon have ZFS as well.
