See this thread on the nahant mailing list for their most recent thoughts 
on this:

Starts here:

Most relevant message (IMO):
https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2005-June/msg00304.html

Basically, they *really* like 4K stacks, XFS doesn't, and they won't go 
back to 8K or spend the time making XFS work with 4K.  Oh, and, again, 
they don't see that XFS buys you over ext3.
