4.1 seems pretty exciting, but why the need to defrag on these filesystems vs 
others. Or do we not yet have the data? Guess I am intrigued on how these 
work. Will defrag be included for peace of mind, or for real gain? How much 
fragmentation can one expect? Will you need to unmount drives to defrag?

Sorry for all the questions...
