So, NamesysFS it is then... Now can we have version 4?
AFAIK Namesys is Hans Reiser's company. If he goes to prison and doesn't put someone in place to manage Namesys and get the funds development needs, Reiser4 is dead.
The past paragraph in the Wikipedia's entry (updated 29 April) for Hans Reiser: Future of ReiserFS Following his arrest, a number of people in the Free Software community http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_community expressed concern over the future of Reiser's filesystem (ReiserFS). For example, a Slashdot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot thread on the subject of his arrest garnered over 1600 comments, significant numbers of which discussed the future of the filesystem.^[47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_reiser#cite_note-software-reaction-46 However, the employees of Namesys assured that they will continue to work and that Reiser's arrest doesn't slow down the software development in the immediate future. They confirmed that if the case expands over a longer time, they will seek solutions to ensure the long-term future of Namesys.^[48] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_reiser#cite_note-47 In order to afford increasing legal fees, it was announced on December 21 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_21, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006 that Hans Reiser was going to sell his company.^[49] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_reiser#cite_note-48 As of 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_of_2008, Namesys has not been sold.
