Too late, perhaps... SuSE Linux 9.2 will contain reiser4 (at least the
beta testversions did). It cannot be set up via YaST during installation,
but the tools are there. So anybody, who is curious about reiser4 can test
it without further knowledge.

If SuSE will be as successful with Reiser4, as with ReiserFS, then Reiser4
will first be stable in SuSE Linux, than in the main kernel.

If you do not want this to happen once again, please include it now!
