Does this restrict gjournal to UFS only?

I've not been following this closely, but I saw the original announcement:

"GJournal was designed to journal GEOM providers, so it actually works
below file system layer, but it has hooks which allow to work with
file systems. In other words, gjournal is not file system-depended,
it can work probably with any file system with minimum knowledge
about it. I implemented only UFS support."

I just wondered if gjournal support is likely to be limited to UFS now.

Regards,

Brian.
