You can not only run Linux on XFS (which I do) but it is still likely 
the most reliable and consistently performant of the filesystems 
available in Linux because of its origin and its maturity.  XFS did 
not originate in Linux (it originated in SGI's Irix) so it should not 
surprise that Linux core developers are proponents of filesystems 
originally developed under Linux.

Regardless, a key value of *BSD supporting non-native filesystems is 
in order to be able to access filesystems created on other OSs.

XFS is a major filesystem so hopefully someone will volunteer to 
support it.
