Not often he's wrong, but he's right again.

$ service status-all

xfs dead but pid file exists
etc.
[dpawson@marge ~]$ service xfs start
Starting xfs: rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/.font-unix': Operation
not permitted
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.font-unix': File exists
chown: changing ownership of `/tmp/.font-unix': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp/.font-unix': Operation not permitted
touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/xfs': Permission denied OK ]
I guess it's a permissions thing again.
Interesting.

Olivier's comment and bravely plunged on[5], arguing that Emacs was
"going the way of the dodo because it targets 1995-ish desktops". A
swarm of questioners including AndrewHaley sought clarification from
Nicolas, to which he responded[6] that Emacs didn't use the desktop
font infrastructure, i18n, a11y, one of the main GUI toolkits, or
integrate with the printing infrastructure.
Seems like xfs is going out of fashion on Fedora.
Wonder if other OS's will follow this direction.
