You seem to be worrying about a really old problem in a different 
distribution and saying that the current plan in Fedora sucks because of 
that. Doesn't seem to be very logical to me.

Are you using Fedora 7? I have turned off XFS while back. Xorg starts 
just fine. Previous version did have a startup check to see if the core 
fonts exists and fail otherwise because some legacy apps (as in ancient 
and crufty) still need them but we don't have that check anymore.
