I think that we definitely need a journaling FS- this is one of the things *that* benchmark highlighted. As it stands XFS would be a complete FS that presumeably could be included in the kernel with minimal fuss. Compare this with ext3 that would either be extended ext2 or as Linus seems to want, an entirely new FS built from scratch. Certainly XFS would be something that would lend credibility to "enterprise" Linux.
