Very good point!

Features that seem to be essentially "done" code-wise, and I would like to
see in the kernel include

1) The new RAID levels
2) ACL's in ext2
3) New filesystems -- HFS, NTFS
4) The "privs" root-splitting part of posix.1e

I think security enhancements should figure high on what we try to get
into 2.2
