can we 1) go 2.6 2) new io design 3) 64bit. i guess 1) ans 2) have much
more benefits. 1) is reuqired by most people. 2) can allow we keep a
relatively consistent layer and do something like vt and vtl parallel.
for 3) if anybody have great interest, he can do extensive test and find
bug for us. if nobody interest, we go slow without impact. do you think
so?
