For the present thread, this is irrelevant, as the irreverent responses
hinted at:

Regardless of _any_ features or fixes in V4, reiserfs V3 will be used in
production system for years. Minor feature additions to an existing
filesystem make it far easier for kernel engineers and sysadmins to
assess the impact on their systems -- which is typically of less impact
than switching to a new filesystem.
