Well, as a general rule of thumb: If you _really_ want to help someone in such a situation then respect his privacy and don't draw his private life into public unless he asked you to do so. Did he?
nor is this a reasonable issue for a decission whether to ship reiser4 or not.
Oh yes it is. He's the driving force for reiserfs. Whithout him there's a large gap in reiserfs4's onward development.
What good would it be if you'd use reiserfs4, found some bug, but there would be nobody to fix it?
Think again: Should a project where there is only one person able to solve problems really be used in a critical environment? BTW: You don't have to convince Novell not to ship reiser4 because of that because this is already the case.
