I think that is unlikely to happen before f17 and we need to migrate
before then I think. So its a question of timing. We'll probably have to
keep gfs_controld for a few fedora versions yet bearing in mind that the
kernel patches are not upstream yet.

We are still carrying mount.gfs2 in the utils, even though that has not
been required for some time, and is not currently part of the fedora
package, for example. I'm expecting that we'll have to do the same with
gfs_controld,
