Yes. But what was the reason to actually merge it even there? And once it gets merged, disabling it again rather than fixing the problems it has?
This is a filesystem that Intel apparently wants to push. I think it would have been a better idea to push back a bit and say "at least clean it up a bit first". It's not like Intel is one of the clueless companies that couldn't have done so and need help from the community.
As it is, it got merged, and apparently things are going *backwards* rather than forwards because it doesn't even show up in the allmodconfig builds I do.
