Hope someone makes a reiserfs-fuse-thing before it disappears from kernel so old filesystems can be accessed.
I wish there were FUSE versions for all file systems supported by Linux. And if one gets deprecated in the kernel, it gets maintained in userspace, with the associated performance degradation, but the data on existing drives is still accessible.

What's funny is that overall blue look that Longhorn and XP had is also what scared me off from KDE 4 way back when Debian Testing got the first update of Gedit with Headerbars and CSD -- talk about a rude awakening. That's the day I started reading more and more Linux-targeted news. I was prepared for the next "Oh Crap" moment -- XFCE was on its last GTK2 release. I went to Plasma 5 since I had good experiences with XFCE+KWin for nifty effects. I've been on KDE Plasma ever since...like 8 years now.
In retrospect I also find it really funny that my current Plasma desktop looks like what Longhorn or XP could have been if I would have been able to turn off the stuff I didn't want.

So you have to be either asocial, slightly autistic or something and know that every person on the planet fights against you if you try to do something great.
And it's similar in business there you also have this psychopaths, it's just that if they murder 100 people with some business transaction about weapons or food, this murder acts are somehow legalized. Steve Ballmer and Steve Jobs are also not really considered neurologically totally normal, Ballmer is at least a colerical person and Jobs was a narcicist and probably a sociopath.
I don't think perfectly mentally healthy people can do something great in computer science. Ohh we can even go further, Elon Mask has clearly some personality disorder(s), genious or just the will to not be average and crazyness is very close.

(I mean "classic" ReiserFS, version 3.something; don't care about 4/5.)

It always stops any discussion about the file-system.
Even the mail thread states:
...but of course, every ReiserFS discussion here inevitably ends like this...

Yeah, Human Resources are the worst
It also handles folders like the lots of many small files portage tree on Gentoo quite well.

While I don't really see the appeal of ReiserFS (not that I did any research anyway) and I wouldn't use it in new storage, block device interfaces (and only the standard interfaces) and filesystems are pretty much the only feature that I'd advice to never drop from an OS, mostly because of preservation. That said, if a FUSE implementation comes up, you don't really crave the performance for that edge case, so you can drop it from the kernel in particular.
