Has this really become a reason to not include reiser4 into mainline? I also don't see a reason for that - at least it would bind reiser4 more close to linux making ports to other OS harder. Furthermore if it would decrease performance its simply no way to go.
(btw. I think this could be a way to generate some revenue - I think there is demand for a modern fs which is supported by both, windows and linux). lg Clemens
