Hmmm.... doubt if LM people will include it for now, since it will
certainly need lots of time for debugging and complaining ( :P ) before
prime time, and it's still less proven then reiserfs *UNDER
LINUX*. But I have another question though, does XFS patch modify
handling of VFS directly in some way that other filesystems can't be
usable anymore? If not, then maybe XFS can be a serious candidate for
inclusion in future Mandrake releases. They included Reiserfs when it
doesn't get so much attention as it do today...... then why not others?
