Perhaps. I'd just feel a little cheated. Currently, without a
repacker/resizer, I would have to borrow/buy another hard drive to get
my data off reiser4, and it seems that it would slowly become more
fragmented.
What about plugins? Application patches? The repacker seems sort of
essential, and definitely a lot of work, but your expertise would also
be very useful for things like, say, a reiser4 backend to a traditional
SQL database. I sincerely doubt people would be willing to pay much for
something that they see as "free" with Windows, while there's some real
potential here to create something entirely unique. Not unique in its
benchmarks, but in its usability.
I know I'm somewhat biased, but I do prefer something entirely
proprietary to something which is sort of "half-open", like
WineX/Cedega, Lustre, etc. It leaves a really bad taste in my mouth
when I start to get hooked on a product, only to find later on that I
have to buy some really critical feature. Like all those "GI-Joe
Grenade Launcher" with "GI-Joe sold separately" fine-print labels.
