Yes, it would be cool :) Five years is a long time to maintain something out of tree, especially recently when there's been so many minor changes to the VFS interface between kernel releases. > with my hat as debian kernel maintainer i'd be very relieved to see it > mainlined. i don't know of any major distro that doesn't ship it. > I don't know of any major distro that doesn't ship Squashfs either (except arguably Slackware). Putting my other hat on (one of the Ubuntu kernel maintainers) I don't think Squashfs has caused distros that many problems because it is an easy patch to apply (it doesn't touch that many kernel files), but it is always good to minimise the differences from the stock kernel.org kernel.
