	I'd like to see that too.  However, since it is highly unlikely 
that we will get IBM to agree to a license change for the software in 
question, I don't think that we should hold our breath waiting for it.

	We can work on continued improvements to our existing filesystem 
technology (e.g., softupdates, dirprefs, dirhash, etc...), and if 
others can get IBM or SGI to agree to license changes for JFS or XFS, 
then we can benchmark our improvements against the alternative 
filesystems.
