Hi Edward,

I've been following the R4 mainline inclusion saga for a while now.
First, congratulations are in order for your developers' perseverance
in maintaining and bug fixing this great fs! But I was wondering where
you stand on mainline inclusion currently? I last read an interview on
Phoronix in early 2009, where you said you were hoping to publish some
plug-in design ideas at USENIX 2010, and then possibly going for
mainline inclusion. However, I believe this didn't happen. What's the
big picture at the moment? What can we look forward to in the next
year?

Keep up the great work!

Sorry, postponed.
Will try to be in time for the 2011 deadline (Jan, 12).

Once we adjust reiser4 to upcoming VFS scalability changes,
all the to-do-for-inclusion issues will be resolved.

As usual, I can not promise anything.
Will try to keep it in working state..

Hello,
Any news on the item about the following:

Are there any plans or timing for mainline  inclusion ?
What items are left to do before  mainline  inclusion ?
Cheers Glenn
