That is supposedly solved, and the two lead developers at SGI on XFS
on Linux now have @redhat.com addresses and thus RH got some XFS love,
too (previously there was a striong Suse link). Still RH pushes for
its favourite filesystems, e.g. ext3/4 and gfs2.

The RHEL kernel has stripped off all parts the RH support does not
want to offer support for, this includes most filesystems like xfs/jfs
etc as well as firewire support, dvb support and so on.
