[ale] Centos

[Scott McBrien]

I wouldn't describe ext4 as a dead end with Red Hat.  XFS is the default used with RHEL 7, but there are some file workloads (small files) where ext4 is substantially better.  If there's something that comes along which is better than ext4, I'm sure it'll make it in the distro.
