Not to mention that every major distribution includes support for Joliet 
extensions, so if you (re-)compiled your kernel and left it out, there's 
no one really to blame but you! (because your distro *did* provide you 
with Joliet, and you deliberately [or carelessly] left it out).... I 
really don't know why the *pointless* discussion about this issue, 
you're just giving it way too much importance than it *really* has... 
Basically if you did not pay attention when you configured your kernel, 
that's *your* responsibility and no one else's.
