}the line of reasoning here seems to goo something like this:
}   * Linux ext2fs  is crap
}   * On Linux, log-structured filesystems avoid the ex2fs braindamage.
}   * Thus, log-structured filesystems are a win on Linux.
}   * Therefore, log-structured filesystems will be a win on NetBSD.

}But since FFS with softdeps doesn't suffer from the brain-damage of
}totally-async ext2fs, the last step isn't really justified :).

Heh.  In the interest of a happy marriage, I tend to avoid calling
my husband's favored operating system and its components crap.  I
just drop things like the Wasabi System's "Why NetBSD" article in
front of him.
