SGI has been making some very linux-friendly noises recently, so maybe
this is a possibility. I certainly hope so. However, right now there
is an _urgent_ need for journaling. Just because I want to get a
reliable and sufficient but minimal journaling implementation out there
for ext2/ext3 does not necessarily mean that we cannot also be looking
at longer term alternatives at the same time.

There are actually good reasons to want a separate journaling mechanism
anyway. Performing atomic updates to LVM data over multiple drives is
one example.
