There are lots of filesystems which were obsoleted way before I first time started using computer. Hope you saw with pdp-11 in action (I only on pictures), since sysv filesystem is very unlikely to get new users today. Or befs - beos is very widely distributed os.

Largely because I personally think that it should be. And Linus was wrong. This can not happen? He can not change his opinion? Btw, which distro shipped ext4 before it was included (splitted) into mainline? Just say no to double standards! P.S. Added Linus to copy list, hope it will be interesting... -- Evgeniy Polyakov
