It's quite possible I'm missing something, but it doesn't look like
either has landed.  I've hacked xfs_quota (not anything that I would
want to submit for merging) so I can report usage project quota stats,
and to be able to set hard and soft limits.  But I was trying to
figure out what we should be telling users who wanted to use Project
Quota, but I'm pretty sure "pull down xfsprogs sources, and apply this
hacky patch[1], and then when you use the tooll ignore a whole bunch
of spurious warnings" is the right way to go.  :-)

I am also curious how Li Xi was testing the patches he sent me.
