You are forgetting <http://now.cs.berkeley.edu/Xfs/xfs.html>.

Just add a little bit more context to xfs and you'll know what you are
talking about. I don't think this is all to uncommon with
colliding/"missuse of" abbreviations. Get used to it.
As I see this, this issue is dead right now.
Its all to much code to change right now, and I prefere to waste those
hours of changing x to another letter (that is already use by some other
people) to accully getting more functionallty and more bugs fixed.
Love
