There's no such plan, but it's do-able, and I can take care of it.
There's an issue though.
Whether we want to store TRIMMED information on disk? ext4 doesn't
do this, so the first fstrim will be slow though you've done fstrim
in previous mount.
For btrfs this issue can't be solved without disk format change that
will break older kernels, but only 3.2-rcX kernels will be affected if
we push the following change into mainline before 3.2 release.
