Well, if I were them, I wouldn't.

Right now the -mm tree has some stuff that's just waiting for 2.7, or is in
initial testing/merging into stock 2.6.

You really should be testing against stock 2.6 with the reiser4 filesystem
so that you don't get hit by one of the (600 in 2.6.1-mm4) patches in the
-mm series.

That way, you can help spot bugs better, and reiser4 will be merged into -mm
sooner so you'll be happy. :)
