It seems slightly odd to me that XFS support should be in a separate

are directly selectable from the Filesystems menu.


XFS also has an out-of-tree version.  Making it a submenu is probably
to make maintenance easier (ie. replace files, not merge).


Where the Kconfig is vs. where the menu appears are 2 different things though. The latest kernel has our own Kconfig in fs/xfs, and fs/Kconfig just does:

source "fs/xfs/Kconfig"

This does facilitate swapping in a devel version of fs/xfs via a symlink, etc.

However, fs/xfs/Kconfig does still start with

menu "XFS support"

which puts it in a submenu, unlike every other fs.

I have no problem with removing the submenu.
