Quota support is enabled.  The thing that apparently got missed is ACL
support.

XFS support of quota is just as good or better than ext3.  The XFS tools
for checking/modifying quotas are supported better in the kernel.  The
easiest way to explain that is with an example:

FS      User      Can check quotas of:
ext3    root      everybody
ext3    user      nobody, not even his own
XFS     root      everybody
XFS     user      only his own

As per the chart, you'll be better off going with XFS rather than ext3.
Caveat:  the XFS module is bigger than 500K.  You can't make a boot
floppy if / is XFS (because the 500K module overfills the floppy).  You
can do it with a CDRom though.
