I really look forward to being able to user reiser4 with FC. It would make
sense for FC to prefer reiser4 over reiser3 because SE Linux will work on
reiser4 due to its support of xattrs.

And in general I see reiser4 being the Linux answer to WinFS and all that
other stuff MS has been promising us for years and years. Surely ext3
isn't the end of evolution in filesystems. I look forward to filesystems
becoming more flexible and more like general purpose databases which can
be extended in a modular fashion with plugins and reiser4 seems to fit
that bill.
