"ReiserFS versus XFS" or "ReiserFS versus ext3" case.
l-k could do without those conspiracy theories. lets just stick to the

one of the nice things about linux is the freedom open-source gives you.
there is no reason why Hans cannot keep whatever proprietary mechanisms
to do whatever fancy plugins he wants and you as a user can use until
