As I understand it, the main arguments against reiser4 are that it
duplicates a ton of code in the VFS (Virtual File System) which
underpins all other file systems (ext2/3/4, xfs, jfs, etc) and most
developers think the reiser4 parts ought to be in the VFS, or at least
not fighting it. Hans doesn't believe that, or professes to believe
that is merely stalling tactics, and would rather throw hissy fits
than actually discuss it reasonably. But I don't write kernel code,
so this is only what I recall from lwn.net reports.
