Well, since the changes are being made to the Linux VM, not to XFS,
if I was in your situation I would ask myself if I should be running recent
2.4 kernels in production with any filesystem. I am not convinced that being
in the mainline kernel is much of a help right now.
Oh, and we are not the ones who need this form of feedback ;-)
