The Linux kernel supports a wide variety of filesystem types, many of whichhave not seen significant use - or maintenance - in many years. Developersin the openSUSE project have concluded that many of these filesystem types are,at this point, more useful to attackers than to openSUSE users and areproposing to blacklist many of them by default. Such changes can becontroversial, but it's probably still fair to say that few people expectedthe massivediscussion that resulted, covering everything from the number of OS/2users to how openSUSE fits into the distribution marketplace.
