I think a better question is "Are many distros planning on supporting
this?". Most distros probably won't enable this immediately, and many
other than the enterprise ones are likely to put the choice on the
system administrator. I would expect that RHEL, OEL, and SLES (and by
extension, Fedora, CentOS, and OpenSuSE) are likely to enable it, and
Ubuntu might. Gentoo will likely take the same approach as it does with
xattrs and POSIX ACL's, namely that if you want them, you enable them
yourself. I would expect Arch to have support (probably within a week
or two of this being merged), but not enable them by default, and I'd
expect a similar policy from Debian.
