Shrug. Each FS has features the others don't, and it doesn't make much
sense to limit our options because some day soon someone else might be
kind enough to make their well known FS stable in linux, and get it
accepted into the kernel. Both XFS and JFS have good teams of
developers, and the end result is that all the linux filesystems are
going to benefit from the competition.
