Thanks! That aspect--using multiple places--is what the term "pools" 
suggested to me, so I'm glad it can be used that way. It seems like 
users could use different pools to enable different backup procedures 
(based on btrfs subvolumes and btrfs-send, for example).

The only question for me is how existing VMs could be moved to other 
pools. (Thinking it would be a nice feature if Qubes would automatically 
recognize any VM dir placed within a known pool.)
