7 I usually think this is why alot of people still rely on it. It's solid, and
8 doesn't change very often, so people working in environments that require solid
9 stability on Linux likely go with this.

15 Just remember, bugs in vanilla-sources go here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/
16
17 Any other -sources buggers up, try a variant of vanilla-sources to see if the
18 problem exists there. If it does fire the bug upstream to the mainline kernel
19 devs. If not, might be a patch we added in.

21 I'm just stating this, because once reiserfs4 goes mainline (I believe it's in
22 -mm currently), we are bound to have users hitting various bumps and ruts in the
23 road using it, and if they file bugs to our bugzilla that aren't related to
24 patches we produce, then they'll likely wind up closed as invalid and such.
25 This saves the users time, and may get them the answers they seek (or at least a
26 resolution of some kind). It also saves our bug-wranglers time by now having to
27 deal with more invalid bugs.
