Am I now allowed to post other things as well, as long as I indicate
they are OT? I have a buch of stuf I know are vaguely related to OSS.

So somebody killed his wife, got caught, was convited and in exchange
for less time told them where the body was. I fail to see what this has
to do with OSS, Linux or openSUSE.

The fact that he also wrote a filesystem is unrelated.

Yes. Then I can ignore it if I want.

What's it going to do that file system? It has been the default file
system some Suse distros.

This particular incident? Nothing.

Thisn particular incident has nothing to do with that either.

You can ignore it without the OT if you want as well. What would be even
better is if you would not need to ignore OT postings, because they
would not be posted.

Your defence is like saying: you can post anything as long as it has the
OT on it. That would mean people can post ads about V|agR/\ as long as
it holds the two letter OT in front of it.

This kind of defence comes up each time somebody wants to defend his
reason to spam.

.... and that has to do what with what you posted is ...

This will affect the maintenance of the reiser f.s. which was the default
file system of SUSE not too long ago.

A file is also the name of a metal work tool. In jokes about prisons, a
file, often hidden in a cake, can be used to remove the bars from the
windows. Can any prison, therefore hold a man who invented his own file
system?

No, the fact that he was a difficult person to work with and that he did
not support the then current ReiserFS and that the new version was not
ready and looked like never being ready was the reason to pull it.

It is open source, so anybody can update it. ReiserFS was not going
anywhere and there were not enough people at Novell and openSUSE to
ensure security updates for the then next 7 years was the reason not to
use it as a deafault anymore.

This choice was made regardless of wether he was out killing his wife or
not. This choice would have been made anyway,

If a new ReiserFS would have been ready and good enough, then perhaps we
would now be running that version of Reiser.

I can add to that that the fact Hans Reiser murdered his wife actually
happened after the switch from ReiserFS to Ext3 by Novell.

(Maybe that was the reason he killed her? ;-) )

I thought so, but wasn't sure and I was too lazy to look it up.
