    In the past, RedHat has always released three minor versions of each
major -- i.e. 5.0, 5.1, 5.2; 6.0, 6.1, 6.2.  If RedHat decides to release a
version 7.2 of their distribution, it *will* ship with 2.96 -- they won't 
break binary compatiblity within a major release series.

    I'm not saying XFS development effort should be directed at 2.96, but I
don't think it's going to go away just yet.

    (Please, no beating of the 2.96-is-bad dead horse.)
