Yeah, there was, although someone discounted it for being a year old release... [compared to Debian Sarge, that's pretty new...]. > > *sigh* Oh well...

Then I'd make it the This is what the Kernel Config does -- so no one will build with it [they're scared it'll break something]. > default FS, and mark ext3 as "legacy" ;) Then I'd have to modify the installer and the kernel now. And again every time Reiser4 makes a major leap. [Not to mention I've yet to see one person singlehandedly do a full distro -- a livecd /maybe/, but probably not.] Logically, the maintainers will wait until something is reasonably stable, and put it in when they're nice and ready. *shrugs* Besides, how many of them are on a release cycle anyways? But yeah, ext3 could be marked as legacy. That said, I'm not going to go as far as to remove it from my kernel. [What if I want to put my kernel on a ext2/3 boot partition?] ^^ -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
