Reiser4 is going to be semi-abandoned for a while, then it'll take too
much effort to catch it up to a reasonable state, so it'll be
preferable to stay with other filesystems.

Namesys, the company sponsoring development, was Reiser's personal
property. Commercial activity for the company has stopped, and likely
it will stop development in the near future if it doesn't recover its
cash flow.
