 Better support for encrypted devices
 ------------------------------------
 
@@ -367,3 +370,34 @@ We would like to add:
   - An easier way to use this from guestfish.
   - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains
     anything apart from VGs).

+Recursive upload / download of multiple files
+---------------------------------------------
+
+virt-tar is really clumsy to use, and upload/download in guestfish can
+only do single files.  tar-in in guestfish can upload multiple files,
+but only if you have prepared a tarball in advance.
+
+What we really need is a method which is as easy to use as 'scp' and
+'scp -r'.
+
+Can we add this as a command in guestfish?  This will be more useful
+since users will already need to be in guestfish in order to create
+target directories, review what they've done etc.  It could be a meta-
+command such as:
+
+  copy-in-recursive localdir remotedir
+  copy-out-recursive remotedir localdir
+
+which would hide use of tgz-in etc.
+
+Sys::Guestfs::Lib / inspector code in C
+---------------------------------------
+
+This would allow us to:
+
+- use inspection from other languages
+- get rid of inspector_generator
+- don't use external virt-inspector process in guestfish
