It isn't that xip2fs isn't acceptable to the kernel maintainers (although it will never be part of 2.4, since it is new function and not maintenance). That is being worked on, evidently. It's just that xip2fs isn't posted on the IBM developerWorks site, but is on linuxvm.org. That's because it didn't/won't go through the (overly) official process to get IBM approval for release.

I feel like I should know the story, and maybe it's just that it's Monday morning, but I don't think I *do* know the story of why xip2fs isn't acceptable to the main kernel tree. What's the story?
