Kernelk people don't maintain a driver. They do make shure it matches changing APIs but for real maintenance it still needs dedicated developers .
Ah, Well, then there is/was a mismatch between what the folks at (I forgot the name...) nemesis? No, Namesys thought and the kernel people thought was their respective responsibilities
For reiserfs that was Chris Mason, now working for Oracle. He became fed up with fixing old code instead of developing new one so he started btrfs.
Yes, this is normal.
IIRC, there were two devs on SuSE that did the maintenance.
And one of them was Chris.
Yes. Code needs maintenance. Programmers like new pastures (I know, I have been a programmer), but as a user I'd rather prefer old code being maintained that more and more new code being created. What I wonder now if is if btrfs has inherited any of reiserfs characteristics - like that of allowing millions of small files with very little wasted space, knowing that it inherited a programmer ;-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
