Will Novell/SUSE support Reiser4 despite of the fact that it's not in the vanilla kernel?
No. Each kernel patch has to be carried around nearly infinitely because people start to depend on it and that causes unnecessary workload for the kernel developers inside SUSE. The 10.1 beta releases have a lot less kernel patches than previous releases and the goal is to have a vanilla kernel. This has a few advantages: - Features in vanilla kernels will not change their interfaces - Features in vanilla kernels will not simply go away - Features in vanilla kernels are subject to peer review - Bug-searching tools are only applied to mainline kernels - There is no patch which has to be kept up to date Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
