No, that's not actually the case. In reality I was pleasantly
surprised when Junio commented that "perhaps we should remove" that
file; I had always gotten the impression from this list that such a
change would be unwelcome because it's easier to just blame the users
of bad filesystems for choosing those filesystems. I also remember a
comment from Linus to the effect that that file was kept in the tree
precisely _because_ it helped us discover such file systems.
Unfortunately I can't find that message right now but I think it was
about 6 months ago.
If the powers that be will accept a change that removes Märchen I'll
be more than happy to whip up a patch.
Wincent
