Is this still a must-have? I.e. are there still strong objections against the plugin design? And even if so, most of this happens in fs/reiser4 anyway I suppose, so the "evil" plugins are well contained :) As for (b), can't this be documented at a later point as well? What about the technical issues, mentioned in the latest TODO list[0] earlier this year? Are there any real show-stoppers left? Andrew (Cc'ed) had this in -mm for a longer time now, maybe he can comment (once again) what's left to do from his POV? Thanks, Christian.
