I get the bad feeling that we can thank SCO for this. I just wish that
some kind of official statement would be made, even if its dripping in
protective legalese. If I can't access any XFS code, its going to be damn
difficult for me to maintain the array of production servers I have that
are all running with XFS right now. Also, XFS remains in the 2.6.x
kernel, so i'm not clear on how pulling it from 2.4.x changes much.
