Will there ever be the possibility to extend a RAIDZ mirror with another
disk?

Linux can do this since kernel 2.6.17 (at least).

I know this is not an really an enterprise feature but enterprise storage
arrays are able to expand a RAID5/6 (even online).

IMHO to expand bulk storage (RAID5/6/Z/Z2) with another spindle would
convince some small enterprises  to switch to ZFS.

What do other ZFS guys think of this possibility?
