Great to hear we're moving in this direction. 

I guess the obvious question is "what will break?". Once we
have a clear idea what really depends on xfs (some packages, 
like wine, _can_ work with xfs if it's the only available 
option, or without), we can devise a plan of making xfs 
optional (moved to Extra along with all apps that depend 
on it?).

Regardless, I'm sure such a list would help fix some apps.
OSS community is rather good I find at this sort of focused
cleanup efforts.
