if you do all the operations (like create a snapshot, allocate a volume,
...) over the REST API, shoe-horning that into the existing
ZFS-over-SSH approach of the ZFS-over-iSCSI plugin does not make much
sense IMHO ;)

is your plan to upstream this, or will you just publish it as custom
storage plugin?
