I agree. I think that metas should be prefixed with at least a
period (i.e. .metas). There is enough precedent for dot-files that it
shouldn't be too much of a user-friendliness issue. Actually, I would
argue that using a prefix would be more user-friendly, since it
indicates that metas is not a standard directory, and would lead to less
confusion.
Also, in terms of adoption of Reiser4, it's the techies who pick the
filesystem, not the users, and my feeling is that techies wouldn't like
just plain "metas" with no prefix.
