It's not really the same thing, having ide and ext2 stuff compiled into the kernel doesn't really hurt you, it's just some unused bloat that with todays hardware prices isn't that hard to live with. If xfs get's removed it would hurt those who need it, but if it stays most ppl wont see it and those who does with see a small bloatness, that isn't very hard to live with. And with this I think keeping xfs is the same as keeping most other things (like the ide drivers), you'll keep the big userbase and only those that really really want a 100% optimized system will notice.
