Well it's an old topic for them, you have to go back 3+ years, which is maybe not what you expect when only in the last few months some loud mouths on /. and Engadget shriek ZOMG Linux just now is getting TRIM?! And how basic this is on Windows and OS X (despite OS X only enabling trim for Apple branded SSDs).


Theodore T'so has spoken up on the ext4 list, as have others:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg13071.html

Dave Chinner has said some things about it on the XFS list, as have others:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2011-05/msg00338.html

And there's a pile of discard/trim conversations on LKML, LVM, Btrfs, on and on.
