drivers are a different thing.. they are "small" and concern just one
hardware.. ReiserFS is somethign millions of ppl might start using.. and if
some serious bug comes to teh fore, linux's reputation will be at stake..
remember that FS is a BIG BIG component of linux... drivers are not.. so
its really irrational to compare "beta drivers getting into the kernel" to
"beta FS getting into the kernel". I think ppl are unnecessarily making it
an emotional issue... let Linus and others decide. If someone dosn't like
their decision, get LM 7.1 and install RFS for u'reself.. plain and simple!
