It's come up on a whole bunch of other mailing lists by now, including
LKML. It probably wants to be mentioned prominently on the web site.

Currently I avoid using snapshots at all, and I'm a very reserved LVM
user at the best of times - even though I think it's grrrreat. [OT] I
wish the new Debian installer supported (the only sane option)
installing LVM on md rather than having one of the other, but meh.

Look at me, I'm mailing random comments and not fixing anything, but
hey, what better way of relieving insomnia.
