Of course things would be much easier if the xfs module, which is at the base of Arla, could be committed in the base kernel; this way, while I'd be more than glad to act as maintainer for it and in general handling major stuff, everybody would be able to help keep it in good shape. Does this need a vote or something? If there are no strong nay-sayers, I will file a PR with everything. The sources would be imported in contrib, I already have all the module glue etc. I'm not asking for commit access, assar would handle commits for me; having access to both repositories, we would make sure changes will go to Arla before, so sources will always be on vendor branch. I should probably mention again: this is not all of AFS, only the basic kernel support. The rest will stay in ports, this just means better support and easier updates. So, do you want it or not?
