+
+	  - extent map shrinker - performance problems with too frequent shrinks
+
+	  - send stream protocol v3 - fs-verity support
+
+	  - checksum offload mode - sysfs knob to affect when checksums are
+	                            calculated (at IO time, or in a thread)
+
+	  - raid-stripe-tree - additional mapping of extents to devices to

+			       RAID56 not yet supported
+
+	  - extent tree v2 - complex rework of extent tracking
