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.
