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

Best regards
