    No. I want the small bunch of clueful people to actually sort out journalling
    and the needed vm stuff so that

    1. We don't have 300K of wasted binaries if you have nwfs, jffs and
            reiserfs loaded

    2. We don't spend a year chasing fs specific bugs

    3. All the ideas people have to make journalling faster get concentrated
            in one spot.
