It might just happen that in a few months time redhat-7.2 gets out and 
there might just be a XFS supporting installer as well. But those are 2 
"mights" already. I have production systems with XFS that are up to level 
with what I want so I am satisfied.

Mandrake 8.1 is first "large" distribution that made it out with XFS as an 
installer option.
SuSE has all the userland packages but lacks a kernel the installer knows 
more then one fs already.

RedHat lacks both userland (although maintained by SGI) and the kernel 
(done by SGI) as well as a installer (Again done by SGI).
