Well, I intend to make venti the storage device itself
(eg. in form on an hw appliance ;-P). At this point an special
venti could make hw RAID obsolete and also do things like bad
block handling.
RAID has some disadvantages, eg. you have to nail-down partition
sizes and it's not trivial to resize or move around volumes.
A venti-based system (which maybe presents an block device via
venti) can make runtime configuration much easier.
