I get the feeling that you want filesystems to grow and shrink
automatically, based on the amount of data currently on them.

However, in some cases (such as many of mine), the filesystem is a
particular size, because that's all I can back up. So when you say "grow
and shrink as appropriate," in this case, "as appropriate" is "stay the
same fricking size." NetBSD does, in fact, do this extremely well. :-)
