If you want wishes fulfilled, you'll need to find a genie.

Thanks, but of course it isn't just me.
RAID6 (i.e. double-parity raid) is a good case in point.
That was developed and tested and pushed by Peter Anvin, not at all by me.
I eventually merged his separate raid6main.c into raid5.c and then merged some
of the functions.  So I did some "maintainer" stuff, but didn't do the
development.   It is likely that Triple Parity RAID will only happen if
someone else steps up like Peter did, because I'm really not that interested.

So we don't need feature requests, we need code submissions.
