Right, I saw it went in some time ago.

Darren, you are very welcome to join and work together with devmapper team
(which currently consists of only one person :-/ ) I have to say that
at this time
this project more in the investigation phase - I am creating a POC prototype
to be able to play with it and to better understand the challenges ahead.
Provided that the result of such investigation would be something worth
integrating into ON, I will very much welcome different add-ons to build
upon devmapper facility.

No problems. I am cc'ing loficc-discuss. Feel free to jump in with
ideas, comments, etc. I do feel it is a little bit early to talk about
compression/encryption above devmapper, but why should that
discourage anyone ? :)
