The 2.6.30 kernel is chock full of next-gen file systems. One such example is NILFS, a new log-structured file system that dramatically improves write performance.

My problem with FAT32 wasn't the patents* (you could use FAT32 patent free if you're happy to loose long filename support and a couple of other work arounds), it's teh fact that it's massively outdated and pretty much an all round crappy FS by todays standards. So Fat16 would only inflame the situation
plus, SSD or not, who actually uses drives smaller than 2GB these days?
* though I did meantion patents in my opening post, it was more in reference to how MS have a vested interest in keeping people locked into FAT32 rather than the patent itself being the FAT32's drawback.
