Can't wait to see if it kills other file systems in the benchmarks.

Whew; though it said out-of-jail Reiser there for a second....

They need to stop trying to flog a dead horse.

This filesystem is never going to get mainlined whilst it's named after a murderer.

Their are plenty of streets all around the world named after historical people who usually did worse things then Mr Reiser. So if they can get "mainline" streets named after them, then I don't see why Reiser4 can't be mainlined based on name alone.
