Because ^ has an implicit cast of the variables to boolean (i.e flag
set or not), whereas != will only work if XFS_XFLAG_PROJINHERIT =
XFS_DIFLAG_PROJINHERIT. Given that the moment we add more DIFLAGs to
the xfs inode, the current "XFLAG value must match DIFLAG value"
rule is going to be broken, I think that logical evaluation is a
much safer practice for these types of comparisons.

Cheers,

Dave.
