Of course, this is an entirely reasonable request of Reiser's.
One meet with an array of unreasonable actions, but mainly STALLING
which has led to REISER4 never becoming part of the main kernel.
It has also lead to many false claims about REISER4. Claims that are
never backed up with solid statistics, but used to keep REISER4 out of
the kernel and tar its reputation.
Keep that last sentence in mind for four lines...
I for one would at least play with it if it were in the distribution
tree.
I AM SURE THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD GIVE IT A TRY.
"Claims that are never backed up with solid statistics, ..."
As far as I could tell Hans pretty much everything else that
was demanded. Hans eventually caved and provided - albeit with much
pissing and moaning, and holy than thou rhetoric.
It was not his pissing and moaning, etc,... these were just excuses to
keep REISER4 from succeeding. The truth is, that any excuse would do.
The real reasons are financial and backed by big money (sometimes, big
egos).
Yes all of the people who make millions on the other filesystems!
Wait... identify who makes a penny more or less with or without Reiser4.

Until Namesys is stable there's no support team. It's not my impression
that there's much support otherwise.
