I don't really have a skin in this game, but I don't think that the fact that RHEL defaults XFS is really a compelling argument to switch the default filesystem in Debian. Unlike RHEL, Debian isn't an enterprise distribution, it's a universal distribution, so it has quite different needs when it comes to the default choices. Adrian -- .''`.
