I hadn't seen it show up there yet either. But maybe its a bit too early
for that. If it gets there I might have a chance of convincing one of
the Fedora kernel guys of back porting it, since F13 is likely to be released
with the 2,6,34 kernel in any case. (Along with some actual numbers for
our live iso images to show it's important to have. But I can get those
using the devel version of squashfs without the kernel changes.)
I'll keep an eye out for it showing up in linux-next. Thanks for the update.
