If you say so, I guess it will be nice to have one less patch to manually merge.

Personally, I'd rather see them add VirtualDiffs, VirtualFullCopys, fix the Pool based expiration (really really really want that), have the option to automatically purge expired volumes instead of only keeping data as long as possible so i can stop having to script it, provide better logic for restores from multiple logical sites like offsite tapes or slow link datacenters, block based dedup, a more inteligent file based store because they arent tapes, etc etc =)
