As a user it would be very beneficial for me to have XFS support in the official 2.4 kernel tree. XFS been stable and "2.4 integration-ready" for a long time, and 2.4 is going to be used in certain environments for a long time, if only because it's easier to upgrade a 2.4 kernel to a newer 2.4 kernel than to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel. It seems like an easy case to make.
I use other filesystems and some funky drivers as well.. and I'm always very happy to see useful backports show up in the 2.4 tree. Thank you!
