I am not using iRODS myself (yet), but INCF (http://www.incf.org)
people are interested in building up on top of it:
http://neuralensemble.org/media/slides/Ritz_INCFcyberinfrastructure_CodeJam5.pdf
that is why I got interested and expect to give it a try some time
in the future. -client as the #1 TODO item sounds reasonable to me too.
And even though it would not hit wheezy release, as I have mentioned, we
could provide backports for wheezy ;-)
