As far as I know, one of the reasons Reiser4 wasn't accepted from the beginning was that it modifies structures of_the/expored_by the VFS kernel subsystem. This is needed to provide access to the features Reiser4 brings new. I repeat "AFAIK", this is not a minor intrusion, as it affects the structure of a kernel subsystem, namely the VFS.
