Well, last I heard, some of the Namesys employees were looking to continue 
development.  It might even get more support - Hand Reiser was infamous for 
being abrasive and difficult to work with, and had some pretty onerous 
requirements for submitting patches to th reiserfs code.

We'll see - IIRC, Slackware defaulted to reiserfs, but Red Hat-based distros 
treat it as a bastard child.
