I think the exceed them quite easily. The costs are almost nil, while
merging this provides another nice example fs (and one much easier to
follow than ext*) for hardware that does have a few users and will no
doubt get many more

I wasn't aware Linus had introduced a new rule required 500 people sign
up to use a feature before it gets added ?
