Wow, some people see conspiracies everywhere. There's no "politics" involved. |

The long-standing policy of the kernel team is to only include bug fixes that |
13 |
are going into upcoming releases of the kernel and other "small" features like |
14 |
squashfs (this one is for releng). |
15 |
|

While most gentoo devs do refer to reiserfs as "ricerfs" and "hate" reiser4 even |
17 |
more than reiser3, it's usually for good reasons. For example, genkernel doesn't |
18 |
work on reiser4. I challenge you to tell me it's genkernel's fault and point out |
19 |
the problem. |

21 |
But regardless of how anyone feels about reiser4, as soon as it's included in |
22 |
the "upstream" kernel (the kernel.org folks), it will appear in gentoo-sources |
23 |
and on the CD media. |
