The issue with QNX4 vs. some major overhaul of a central subsystem is that QNX4fs doesn't affect system stability for people who aren't using it.
Putting AVL or fhashing into the kernel right now, or changing the scheduling algorithm is something that affects everyone with non-predictable results. Things like that are in freeze, carefully-planned add-ons don't have to be.
