Oh really? Which version then?

So, three things are needed:
1. kernel support (according to you, it's already there, it's just not
the latest/greatest)
2. userland tools (mkfs.xfs....)
3. anaconda hooks
#1 is partially solved
#2 is _trivial_ to do
#3 well, i've heard that some XFS patches are already in anaconda, just
not enabled yet, but i didn't verify
So it doesn't look like a whole lot of work.
