I'm not aware of any plans. What would be your use case?
Well, basically what DATALINK is made for: storing files in the filesystem and only keeping the reference in the database.
What I'm most interested in are the "transaction" and "auto deletion of unused file" features of DATALINK.
At the moment, this is handled by some code in my application (although not perfectly, e.g. regarding transactions), so I can live with that :-)
I believe DB2 is pretty much it in this area.
For the record, it looks like MS SQL Server has some equivalent feature :
FILESTREAM.
