Quite fascinating. Definitely a new dimension and project seems
heading in right direction, there's no doubt. I already have had fun
(recently autoextend died on me after few extensions).

It might change the topic but I am just gonna put it out. THE Future
looks promising but that's what they said about KVM too (wink wink)!
