it seems to me that one great advantage to linux (and open source in general)
has been the willingness to roll stuff out when it's just about ready for use,
but before it has been polished to dust. that comes later.
many times on l-k, you see "flames" of the form ``don't tell us what to
do, just show us your fix''. for some reason, this particular area
(journalling) seems be going in the opposite direction. there's a lot
of telling people what to do, (``come up with a common journalling design'')
rather than showing us the fix (``here's some code that implements a common
journalling layer'').
