Following Andrew Morton's [interview] recent posting of 2.6.0-test4-mm2 [forum], Christian Axelsson asked, "Is there any work [being] done on getting reiser4 into mm? I havent tried it myself yet but I've heard of colliding code in [the] scheduler". Andrew replied that a merging effort hasn't been made, but that he'd be interested in making it happen in a month or two so long as the namesys developers were willing to commit to providing him with up-to-date patches. Hans Reiser offered:

"We would be happy to make that commitment, and happy to switch from creating snapshots every week to pushing to you and linking to you from our website. Several people have asked for this besides Christian."

In other words, it looks like -mm users will soon have easy access to the resier4 filesystem.

Nope.

It would be fun to get it in there so people could play with it more
easily, but not for a month or two (guess) and I'd need some commitment
from the namesys guys to keep me up to date, else it'd be a waste of
everyone's time.

We would be happy to make that commitment, and happy to switch from 
creating snapshots every week to pushing to you and linking to you from 
our website.  Several people have asked for this besides Christian.

I think it would be a good thing to get it in mm as in serves as
testingbase for linus tree. It will reach more users and that means more
testing (but also more whining if option not marked VERY UNSTABLE or
something like that).
