> Even worse, it will be difficult to maintain reiser from jail...

This particular issue has been discussed quite a bit on other 
forums (and while was I was personally amused at the idea,
there was even a suggestion posted (wishful thinking?) that
if convicted Hans Reiser may have a lot *more* time to spend 
on the project).  It does bring up an important point for 
any (OSS) project that when the software (or particular 
sub-distribution) is too dependent on just one (even if very 
talented) person for its continuance, the governance (and
potential viability) of the project may have some serious 
weaknesses.  Busses happen (as in "hit by a bus").  One must
plan accordingly.
