You can not only run Linux on XFS (which I do) but it is still likely the most reliable and consistently performant of the filesystems available in Linux because of its origin and its maturity. XFS did not originate in Linux (it originated in SGI's Irix) so it should not surprise that Linux core developers are proponents of filesystems originally developed under Linux. Regardless, a key value of *BSD supporting non-native filesystems is in order to be able to access filesystems created on other OSs. XFS is a major filesystem so hopefully someone will volunteer to support it.
