It's not really listed there (though some of the projects there might be
considered subsets of it), but improved parallelization for the
multi-device setups is one thing that I know that a lot of people would
like to see.

Another thing that isn't listed there, that I would personally love to
see is support for secure file deletion.  To be truly secure though,
this would need to hook into the COW logic so that files marked for
secure deletion can't be reflinked (maybe make the automatically NOCOW
instead, and don't allow snapshots?), and when they get written to, the
blocks that get COW'ed have the old block overwritten.
