umh...  why cherry pick? Below is reprint of complementary argument you are 
omitting:

I just wonder if now that 'Big Blue' acquired Red Hat, the GNU Parted 
gatekeeper will act in a consistent
manner and quit his employer on 'ethical and moral' grounds in light of 
Watson's complicity tainting the company.

(and/or "Democracy For The Few" by Michael Parenti).

i.e., "...I have absolutely
no desire to see [IBM]'s work or name do anything but disappear into
obscurity."

Well, maybe I quoted him too soon. Unlike Reiser, who is down and dirt-poor and 
thus all the West 'morally and ethically righteous' developers kick and pile 
scorn onto, 'Big Blue's wealth quells USA technology ecosystem and their 
employees' ethical and moral sophistry, as is evidenced by, say no issues with 
JFS,
for instance.

The topic is Reiser4 different technology and thus different beast than 
ReiserFS. Apropos, hang issues and corruption are prevalent in BtrFS and ext4,
i.e., for a couple of instances,

thus your advice should be directed at the 'ethically and morally righteous' 
maintainers of those filesystems.
With all its quirks and issues, Reiser4 is a different beast which has not 
corrupted any of my data during my several years of daily use in Google Cloud 
images
as well as in remote bare metal servers and/or my local development 
environment(s) where I develop my kernels and installers.

Accordingly, and with all due respect, I don't request sanctimonious crap from 
mudslingers.


Best Professional Regards.
