Reiserfs is not 'kaput', it is still being maintained in the linux kernel (both v3 and work is ongoing for v4), and will be for the foreseeable future.
For the benefit of anyone reading this and wondering "Well is it kaput or not?": Charles and I are both right.
I said that *Namesys* was kaput. Namesys was the company which developed ReiserFS.
Charles stated correctly (but perhaps confusingly when done as a reply to my comment) that *ReiserFS* is not kaput.
We were talking about two different things.
The company is dead, but the software (being open source) lives on.
That was my point... the way it was worded your comment could be interpreted as the same as reiserfs being kaput. I merely pointed out that the original programmers company/website of an open-source project whose code is and has been included in the mainline kernel for a very long time being kaput is far far from the same as the filesystem itself being kaput - which was the last part of your comment.
