Another thing is storage of small files in the inode itself, ala short
symlinks.  Not much of a win with the size inodes we have now, but
with larger inodes and an unused opaque area...  Migration to and from
inode-containered files might be fun :)  Hmm, thinking about this more,
maybe there's not much that is small enough.  Pid files and lock
files come to mind, but not much else.

I'm sure the list could go on, and on, and ...
