mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

It's been discussed. But you just lose so much flexibility (space must be pre-allocated at volume creation time, deletion immediately frees up space on the main volume) and features (snapshots, compression when using thin provisioning) that it was considered to be more trouble than it was worth. The performance gain in our testing was not significant. But I'm certain there are certain workloads where it would be beneficial.
