We get brief power outages here regularly in downtown Toronto,
typically in the very early morning when their doing maintenance:
no warning, no lights, no computer, back to the 1700s.

Same here: I've used Reiserfs since 2003 & never had a problem;
I installed it in my netbook 2009, as it was so stable.
It seems version 3 is being lightly maintained & needs no improvements;
as for version 4, it's unlikely to get into the Linux kernel,
as Btrfs -- or Zfs -- are more strongly favored by its devs.
