DevFS was merged late in 2.3
ReiserFS was merged in 2.4.1
A mostly new VM was merged in 2.4.10pre11
I think XFS and ext3 may have good chances of a merge.
Who can say when the major VM changes were merged into 2.3? Wasn't there a
lot done in 2.4-test? I remember reading kernel-traffic around that time,
but not earlier...
