Hello Alan & Linus, So -we- (I mean the users of raid-0.90)
lose again . More probably until 2.5 at my best guess .

- unless may be included in 2.2.1[3-9] . (looks doubtful)
- doesn't look like 2.3 either , which still has broken FS layers
last I had heard . So that must leave late 2.3 at best .
- Or what may even be more likely 2.5 .

When do -we- win ? Tia, JimL
