It's not true, unless you count maintainability as a cost issue. Plus
there will be an update path from ext3 to ext4, something that
reiserfs can't offer. And besides there being no path from reiserfs3
to reiserfs4, reiserfs4 with its metadata that can be changed by
plugins is a maintenance nightmare.
These *are* technical reasons, at least in my books.
