Ext3 fixed the one obvious lack in ext2, and did it in a minimalist way and 
got some performance bonuses en passant. I appreciate that. ReiserFS is 
trying too hard - but it may well succeed anyway.

Still a bit shakey on its feet, give it a month or two. Now that it ships in 
Mandrake they'll be getting copious new bug reports, which will round off the 
rough bits faster.
