In general there is no problem with xfs on a root partition.  However, the

installer

may not make it easy or available for you.

(I never use xfs for /boot though, I don't trust grub enough for that

honestly).

Same thing on Fedora 16. Let's hope some day Anaconda will change that.

F16 prevents it?  I didn't see it in the upstream tree.  That should
not be so.  :/

About GRUB with a XFS /boot the problem was with GRUB Lagacy, wasn't it?
Or GRUB2 is still buggy?

I have no idea, actually.  I delved into grub a bit, it was disturbing
enough that I have not tried to look at grub2.  :)
