I don't know, because, as we discussed previously, these are really
luxury bugs, and there's no push for either from real use cases.  So
I'd add fixes in the order of becoming the obviously right fix.  I
think we are closer to getting the constant ino resolved properly than
consistent fd.

I really want to look into sharing pages between clones.
"Unfortunately" I'll be taking next week off, so...
