As pointed, it's in testing. Will there be a Release soon or did I miss
it once again?

This was discussed on the roswell list when that beta was in testing.
I'm not sure if there's an archive but I think the idea was that they
didn't have the resources to wrap in a non-mainstream patch to kernel

wonderful system in itself ofcourse. (.. but it's not XFS, I agree. I'll
use the XFS installers myself.)
