Reiser4 Brought To The Linux 5.0 Kernel

And the vast majority of these posts is precisely why the thing should be renamed.

If you think renaming it would fix stupid people, I have news for you.

more filesystem related comments chaps, please, this is not the Internet

There isn't much meaningful to say about Reiser4.

I can tell there’s a few sociopaths here. The name is offensive. The original creator was a man who killed his wife. They need to change the name, for pr if anything.

I'm pretty sure in this context you're misunderstanding sociopath but be that as it may, how is getting outraged on a phoronix forum going to achieve this?

In FreeSoftware communities, we hope there is still in place some good old codes..
Usually Freedom, Rights and so on..

Linux started to be appealed because of openness of code, something friendly, The GNU Software another case with RMS been very respectful person, its a pleasure to use its values trough software..
That reflects in the mind of people has a positive thing

With that in mind, even if it would be renamed, it would be the "former ReiserFS"..
In recent history, if you look there have been implemented Society codes of conduct, when someone makes something terrible, its erased from something..

You can see that, with athletes, companies, sponsors, and so on..
Its a bad thing no one wants bad publicity, and negative judgements..

And time doesn't go back to redone things, and make them right..life its what it his..

*Reiser4
ReiserFS is the predecessor of this filesystem and is in mainline.

This isn't exactly new thing, and it's making a strong comeback with the SJW movement.

This matters only if they cater to the lowest common denominator like advertising (which is your example).

And even then, bad publicity is still better than no publicity at all, and it's also gratis. Idiots acting all outraged are extremely effective way to make something known, or to keeping something from being forgotten.

I know a few youtube channels that got a massive boost in overall popularity because they became extremely hated on Reddit or other social media full of idiots.

How about we all just agree that nobody likes lesbians and socialists, and move on.

Again, no outrage about software projects that have the name Timur in them, despite the fact that he killed 5% of the world's population in the 1300's. Let us know when you've successfully renamed all the projects that have the name of a murderer or mass murderer in them.

How in the fuck can you even read that into my posts.

I'm just about names, not people. If suddenly someone with the same name as me goes on a killing spree, should everyone around me shun me because I bear the same name?

How in the fuck having the same name of a bad person has ANY relation to my own qualities.

WTF is this middle ages bullshit.

We all know the project carries the name of a murderer and not just any Hans Reiser.

Are you saying the project did in fact rename "ReiserFS" - created by the former murderer, into "ReiserFS" - a completely unrelated person by the same name?

I still believe you could be onto something. For all I know could relatives of Hans Reiser still be working on the project whose names might be Adolf Reiser and Osama Reiser. We would be doing them injustice if we changed the project's name.

By the way, Adolf and Osama Reiser live in New York and are a gay couple who adopted a young, african-american male by the name of O.J.. O.J. Reiser is 9 years old and he is a big fan of the Avengers.

Anyone who then dislikes the name "ReiserFS" could also be against gay couples or hate the Avengers.

Well, I can see it was a mistake to follow this thread.

I imagine that Michael gets a kick out of this at least.
