Hi,
As a lurker here (just to see if/when fs changes
affect USB), Chris is correct here. IMO Hans was
on the right track before he began flaming.
I no longer have that email, but it was something
about documenting changes for other fs developers,
making it easier on us/them.
The thing to do is one of the things that Linus does
best IMO, which is to lead by example. Show us the
code, or in this case, show us the docs.
Or maybe I misunderstood Hans and read what I think
would be a good step for the reiserfs team.
Oh yeah, I believe he said _after_ 2.4 is out,
but that's understandable.
