my understanding is that it is included because it was requested by many people. XFS was donated to linux by SGI, and is going to be an official part of Linux 2.6. I think it is probally a very popular filesystem, and becasue Knoppix is used in a rescue environment it needs to support as many filesystems as possable, for example it used to even support the amiga / acorn file systems!
