Well, XFS is really complicated and its code is really rather ugly, with abstraction layers to make the Linux in-memory inode look like the traditional Unix in-memory inode (for ease of merging with IRIX) and other things which are normally not permitted in Linux at all.

So, no, I don't think that'll happen.

And of course there is no way that the XFS code can be cleaned up ;). Especially now since SGI is bust so there is no more IRIX.
