Sigh. QNX does not affect anything outside of itself. It's a single unit.
We even add things like this to 2.0 kernels all the time. If QNXfs is
broken it won't make debugging the rest of the kernel harder.

Feature freeses should only free features that affect more then one little
function.

The only way this would affect anything is if someone who compiled and
loaded QNXfs was expirencing crashes. In that case I would say, turn off
QNXfs, does it still crash? If no, well thats what you have to deal with
when you turn on features marked as 'expermental'. (yes, we have
expermental features in stable kernels).

Feature freeze means as few core changes as possible.
