Which currently broken filesystems in STABLE become usable with these fixes? 2. Do you have any wild-assed guess as to how long the approval and MFC are likely to take? (I.e., When might it be available in -STABLE) (I chose the word 'guess' carefully - I know better than to rely on any such prediction. Nevertheless, a ballpark estimate would help me decide whether to consider delaying a project I'm starting until those fixes are in.)
