As I told already for reiser4 inclusion we need the following:

(a) plugin design document;
(b) full description of what is going on in respond to memory
    pressure notifications;

The (a) is not yet ready and I don't have a time to explain
personally to everyone why the plugin stuff is not crappy. It will
be posted in a magazine with proper background, because all
Namesys projects traditionally have academic sources. So wait...

Actually there is no hurry. Taking into account common situation
with file systems, I am not afraid that reiser4 will get obsolete.

Thanks,
Edward.
