While i totally agree with you for standard packages, well i based my choice on actual experience of the last past six years of use with reiserfs V3. I can't remember how many times i heard Namesys team say " Install the latest & greatest reiserfsck", how many times distro thought they knew reiserfsprogs internals better than Namesys and customized it to the point where it would eventually break. Of course, i can live with a manual install of reiser(fs|4)progs, so i don't really mind, but talking of support, it can make quite a difference to Namesys in terms of support, and annoyance with bug reports that could have been easily avoided. Final decision will still be Namesys call, but hopefully this whole thread gave them some valuable input to make the best decision. Thanks, Philippe
