Is there any chance that namesys will also provide a patch against the

of reiser4 in -mm ?

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. :)
I would agree with you but:
1) the people who would run an experimental filesystem like reiser4
are very likely to also run with the -mm kernel tree (as is my case at
least...)
2) from what I've read, reiser4 should be integrated in -mm before it
can ever think about going in mainline... so why not play with it in -mm
now ?
