I am afraid I must also raise my hand, even both hands!, again and again 
looking for help to understand the whole thing! :-) I am far from being 
able to answer your question on a solid basis, but read this extracted 
from Jackrabbit FAQ at 
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/frequently-asked-questions.html ...

*What is a Jackrabbit file system?*

A Jackrabbbit file system (FS) is an internal component that implements 
standard file system operations on top of some underlying storage 
mechanism (a normal file system, a database, a webdav server, or a 
custom file format). A file system component is any Java class that 
implements the FileSystem interface and the associated behavioral 
contracts. File systems are used in Jackrabbit both as subcomponents of 
the persistence managers and for general storage needs (for example to 
store the full text indexes).

So, it seems to me that Jackrabbit is a kind of overall layer that 
doesn't mind what in the hell it has under it. And a "normal" file 
system is one of the options. So, I guess any application running now on 
XWiki will keep working, or must keep running, it this or any other 
content stored is adopted to held future XWiki development.

By the way, are you following xwiki-devs? See this... 
http://www.nabble.com/XWiki--Dev-f2564.html

And Jira Issues are also of great help trying to understand what is 
going on within XWiki. Just in case you have not gone there yet... 
http://jira.xwiki.org

As far as I can perceive, this is a hot topic in XWiki.

HTH,
