i looked into how that would go enough to see
that venti would work at cross purposes to the
fs.  having a w address doesn't make much sense
when you can address by content.

in hindsight, that was likely obvious to everyone
but me.

i think ken's fs makes perfect sense without venti.
it has reasonable device support these days
(aoe, ata, ahci, marvell 88sx).
