Yeah, that's my fault. I should update the roadmap.

Unfortunately people asking how they can help are usually asking "is
there something easy to do that you haven't already done". Hard question
for me to answer.

I have eight gazillion todo items, such as "figure out why top eats so
much cpu" and "now that zcat's in I should implement zgrep" with a note
asking if I should just make the normal grep autodetect gzipped input
from the header signature, or add a -z flag to it", and "should I add
mtd-utils or ubi-utils stuff", "add df -i"... those seem the easiest for
somebody else to tackle? (Although the zgrep one has a design question
in it.)
