Hans has make a huge contribution with Reiser 3 and eventually Reiser 4 is going to be something that will greatly enhance the kernel and advance Linux the way Reiser 3 has done. Wasn't Resiser 3 the first journalling file system for Linux that actually worked? So - I say - if it doesn't break anything else - why not throw it into the mail kernel?
