Hans Reiser developed an important and widely used file system (the first journalling filesystem) included in the 2.4.0 Linus kernel release. Now I agree Hans in jail, probably is having an enforced lower profile, but he is a Linux 'personality'; therefore LWN should keep us informed.

Those who aren't interested, can avoid investing the 30 seconds to skim read the item, but move on and just click on the tech news.

For me knowing LWN will cover such news, saves me polling places like wired, which would be really time consuming, on off chance there's something.

Those arguing case for strictly "Linux related" items, well sorry, but it is to me :

mount | grep reiser
/dev/sda5 on / type reiserfs (rw,noacl)
/dev/sda6 on /var type reiserfs (rw,data=writeback,noacl)
/dev/sda9 on /sw type reiserfs (rw,noacl)
/dev/sda7 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noacl)

What did the article have to do with linux? Sure it had to do with Reiser but not everything that goes on in Reisers life has to do with linux , in fact I'm pretty sure not much that goes on in his life has to do with linux now.
