Is it just me or do others see these complaints as un-Linux? This is the type of whining you would expect from M$ users, because M$ EOL's one of their products, and then there's no way it can ever be modified again.
The total opposite is true in this case. Marcelo is the maintainer of only one particular fork of the 2.4 kernel. If some one/group wants XFS in the stock kernel, he/they can petition for his/their own kernel to be Linus' 2.4 kernel.
That is the beauty of open source. Myself and others can't fire Steve Ballmer. Only the M$ board of directors can do that. Using the open source process, all of us working together can get Marcelo and his kernel fork replaced. That's what I will be working towards.
But let's be honest. With $CO being mercilessly beaten by IBM, it sure feels good to be a Linux user again.
