Does this mean that us common folk without a $500 - $1000 hole in our pocket aren't going to be able to use the journalized fs? If so, I expect a hack to be out within the hour. ;)

If 'con' is the opposite of 'pro', what is the opposite of 'progress'?
Interesting that Apple and OSX are the antitheses of everything Linux. Not the same
1. Development model - obvious
2. Costs of buying - obvious
3. Target audience - Linux (and BSD?) has been about doing more with less - how to get over BIOS restrictions on old PCs, run enterprise-level systems on inexpensive hardware; Apple's been about people who will pay for glitz
4. Freedom - IBM, unlike Apple, is almost evangelizing Linux, they don't even hide behind euphemisms like 'open-source'. The motivation of free, or at least open source, software is as important to Linux software as the utility itself, Because given the former, the latter will soon follow. Apple? That little song and dance about their derivative license? Yeah, leech off free software.
5. Glitz - If we wanted glitz, we'd stick to Windows. But if we want 4 different journaling FS we know what OS to pick.
OSX gives some of what Linux's had all along. They'll find it hard to catch up with the evolutionary pace of Linux. But just the same, some people will pay extra for glitz, even if it means supporting a company that used UNIX to save itself and didn't even bother to give something back.
