In light of the recent announcement by SGI (that the core of the XFS journalling filesystem will be opensourced this summer) what is "the panel's" view of the continuing devlopment of ext3/whatever the linux jfs will be called. Should we adopt XFS as the defacto replacement for ext2?
Of course this is all dependant on SGI coming through and releasing the source under a kernel friendly licence agreement (GPL seems sensible to prevent plundering by Sun/HP et al.) but whatever the outcome, the open sourcing of commercial technologies (opposed to applications), whatever they are is cool.
