Not from the ZFS team, but I would like to see user/group quotas and the
ability to flag both types of quotas with the following options:
* Ignore snapshot reservations when calculating quota -- Don't punish users
for administratively driven snap policy.
* Ignore COW overhead for quotas (allow unlink anytime) -- from my testing
it appears as though a delete on a quota limit fs fails in some situations
even with no snapshots (where you have to grow the quota unlink then
reset).
