Then, for the sake of not making other potential Reiser4 contributors
lose their time -- falsely believing in the technical meritocracy of
FOSS -- I suggest that you place the above statement at the GNU Parted
site.

Last I read (< http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ >) *before
submitting my Reiser4 patch* I could not find a notice *explicitly*
stating that Reiser4 work is not to be evaluated on its technical
merits but rather on a personal  'morality', religious fanaticism,
and/or subjective 'altruism' and/or prejudice. I even checked for the
relevant 'Reiser' string at the development site (<
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/parted/ >) with NULL results.

Notwithstanding, selectively applying a personal subjective criteria
to Reiser4 and not, say JFS for instance, seems more of a
contradictory attitude --as code contributions from organizations with
exponentially darker backgrounds (<

than Reiser are included -- specifically in Parted -- without
compunction.


Best Professional Regards.
