Suggestion: Why don't you go ahead and write a wiki page about the assorted filesystems, their strengths and weaknesses, and why some aren't currently in Fedora. You could create the page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ/FileSystems and let me know when it is ready for review. Once we have a good version in place, we can write in just a small statement on the FedoraMyths page and direct the curious to the new page. If you would like to follow the progress of filesystem support and keep that page a living document, that would be great. We'll also create a link to the new page directly off of the FAQ.
Yes Bryan, if you think the filesystem issue is /that/ important, that users of Fedora must know it all, then please by all means, create a sub-page on the wiki for this. We'll be happy to review it, and I'm sure we can get more technical heads from fedora-devel-list interested
In the meantime, telling the marketing list about filesystem limitations does not help us in our cause in any way. If you're unhappy about the XFS file support, maybe you want to escalate working on it, cleaning it up, and submitting patches in Bugzilla (and about now you're going to point to eon old bugs open asking for xfs to be updated...) or better still, the upstream kernel
