I'm arguing against circular logic: the claim that one cannot
determine reiser4's true usefulness unless its in the tree.
The better method is to get a distro to add reiser4, _then_ if it
proves worthy add it to the kernel tree.
Not the other way around.
And is that how other filesystems made it into the tree ?
In the case of most major filesystems, yes. Distros are a proving
ground for new stuff, not the upstream kernel.
I regularly see drivers with very little in the way of testing go
straight nearly straight into the tree - without even getting tagged as
experimental.
Hardware drivers are vastly different from filesystem drivers.
