... this was literally just discussed.

I believe the direction is clear. It needs people to do the work.
We're critically short of reviewers. I got precious little review of
the original XArray work, which made Andrew nervous and delayed its
integration. Now I'm getting little review of the followup patches
to lay the groundwork for filesystems to support larger page sizes.
I have very little patience for this situation.
