  We thought the plug-in system was very cool; e.g. it was quite easy
to add a feature plugin to allow any logical volume to be tagged as an iSCSI
target, and then the plugin did all the work to configure e.g. IET to export
that LV as an iSCSI target presented LUN. Expanding a file system automatically
when the LV was expanded, was also a great enterprise feature of E-VMS
that is still unmatched (afaict) by other approaches for Linux...
