mv'ing directories across fs'?

Forgive me if this was covered before, but why is mv'ing a directory
across filesystems not allowed under Linux? Is this an ext2 'feature', or
something else?

This works just fine under IRIX (tested 6.2 and 6.4) and Solaris (tested
2.5.1)...

Just an inquiring mind :-)
