That's what I thought when I saw the name Jim Gray, but as far as I knew he never worked on XFS and never left the Linux community dejected because Linux kernel coding standards requirements before changes were allowed to be merged, when Hans did his name dropping thing.
(I mean geez, if you want really high standards before new code is accepted, take a look at Open Solaris; they have *such* a heavyweight process, with two mandatory signoffs by core Solaris engineers who both have to do a line-by-line review, and with a promise of on-disk and ABI compatibility *forever* ---- that we do more commits in a week than they do in a year....)
