Sure, but where to stop? I think most if not all disk based needs are
covered by the existing tar/ext2/ext3 support.

Adding more config options for really specialized stuff doesn't
increase usability imho.

Not in a current project, no - But I have (or rather CF cards, but
that's the same). What's the problem with the existing ext2 support?
