Short version is that most of the features are in RH7 now. There are some
features that we decided wasn't all that important unless you bought one
of our solutions (ACE, ISE, etc) so we just pushed them up into the
solution packs. So ProPack 1.4 for ia32 will be the last ProPack availible.

NFSv3 made it into the 2.2 series and is availible via RH7. There may
still be a couple of issues in the 2.4 kernel and we are working thru that.
They should be resolved by the time RH releases a supported version of
the 2.4 kernel.
XFS isn't in RH7.0, and I'm not sure about 7.1 (that's up to RH). We have
made availible the beta as you have seen. Remains to be seen whether XFS
will get accepted into the stock kernel first, or RH will adopt an XFS patch
frist, or whether we decide to productize a solution around fileserving
to deliver XFS first. This is the nature of linux development. Right now
the prioroity is to finish off the rest of the XFS TODO list for a 1.0 release.
