Nothing is hard, it just takes time. At this point, I'm more concerned about
getting 1.38 working and out, so if someone thinks this is a really good
idea, then the best thing to do is submit an RFC email to the devel list in
the next couple of weeks.
By the way, using different media in the same job will work when backing up,
but is not yet supported for restores.
