Mmm... but it's true. The only innovation was to come from reiser4 forever. Btrfs is just Oracle attempt to bring ZFS-like FS to Linux kernel. Ext4 is Ext3++. The rest are domain specific FS. Too little innovation. But then, innovation is just a buzzword.

And Ext4 is based on Ext3 is based on Ext2 is based on UFS.
