    The truth is, that when it is the tree, it is much easier to try.
    AFAIR, there was no feedback when kan@ had posted last snapshot.

    I fully understand that it is not ready yet for committing, but when
    you start to fell read-only support is ready, don't wait for the
    full read-write support and allow to commit it.
    Then you can work on r/w support in peace and (in parallel) enjoy
    feedback from users:)
