I'm looking into it because I am looking into doing a masters focusing on distributed file systems. There was a mention of reiser5 being distributed.
I think that's the definition of reiser5. I think that 4, 5, and 6 (at least, maybe there's a 7?) are defined not in terms of when they will actually be done, but what features they will contain. If I remember correctly, 6 might not need 5 to be implemented first (but both need 4 for its plugin architecture).
Or, in other words, the version number refers to a major, sweeping feature. 4 is plugins, 5 is distributed, and I don't remember understanding 6 very well -- but I was young when I read about it.
