So, for the sake of argument, if IBM were to drop official support for JFS, we'd yank JFS out of the kernel even if there was someone else willing to support it? Why does it now *matter* who supports it, as long as its being maintained? And will we now block IBM's hypothetical JFS2 from the kernel if IBM, from the programmers up to the CEO, doesn't swear on their momma's grave that they'll continue to support JFS1, even if JFS1 is being supported by others? Jeez, this is why it doesn't take a kernel dev to see the problems here, common sense seems to be an increasingly rare ingredient in these arguments against R4. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were making this stuff up as you went along....
