Thank you for the interest. We dropped Reiser4 ten years ago as it was not working then. Bug 5680 I have read it have been maintained since then, but do not aim to be included in mainstream linux. To me, Reiser5 seem still too new, but this is not my cup of tea. CC kernel&drivers, and tools maintainers for comment/consideration. Another request for filesystem, OpenZFS, is in Bug 17245 See Also:

It looks as if Reiser4 is (will be) a dead duck.
As for Reiser5 being too new, Reiser was always rather in this state - for the brave.
I think kernel is the best opinion to have about this, so assigning the bug there. [Re-assign if appropriate]. Leaving 'tools' CC'd.Summary:
