Can you at least give us feature list being developed?

Some answers to questions like:

1. evacuating a vdev resulting in a smaller pool for all raid configs - ?

2. adding new vdev and rewriting all existing data to new larger
   stripe - ?

3. expanding stripe width for raid-z1 and raid-z2 - ?

4. live conversion between different raid kinds on the same disk set - ?

5. live data migration from one disk set to another - ?
   [if 1 works it should be simple - first force adding new disks,
    even if with different redundancy scheme then evacuate old disks.
    This also partly solves 5 but you need different disks.]

6. rewriting data in a dataset (not entire pool) after changing some
   parameters like compression, encryption, ditto blocks, ... so it
   will affect also already written data in a dataset. This should be
   both pool wise and data set wise - ?

7. de-fragmentation of a pool - ?

8. anything else ?
