I wonder which high-end customer *finally* drove them to do this (if,
indeed, they are going to).  Us regular folks have been agitating for
this for ages, but we were always told that ext3 was just fine and why
would we need anything else.  Somebody with $$ must have told them in
no uncertain terms "XFS or we're outta' here".
