We're looking at it as a question of whether its developer can support/develop it from jail. Apparently (according to the lwn article) there are other developers maintaining Reiser 3 now, and it was never clear whether Reiser 4 would be worth putting in the kernel. I don't really care about the guy's ethics as a determiner of whether to use his technology. --Ken -- Ken (Chanoch) Bloom. PhD candidate. Linguistic Cognition Laboratory.
