Just wanted to interject something amidst the talk about huge xfs
patches... the xfs filesystem code is pretty big, yes, but the core
xfs-only kernel patch for 2.4.13 is only around 48k.  That includes
context lines, Makefiles, Configure.help, MAINTAINERS, Changes, and
other documentation that's really not a change to the kernel.

Yes, XFS affects the core kernel.  But it's not as much code as the
conventional wisdom seems to think it is.  :)
