There has been no follow-up review as far as I can tell. As far as I know not all of the problems were fixed. And it has been observed that given the abuse and accusations that were directed at the people who did decide to review it, that it would not at all surprising if some (all?) of reviewers may have decided they had better things to do. Getting things merged into mainline is not a right, and the reviewers are volunteers..... Speaking for myself, since I don't enjoy being accused of partisanship and being ascribed of having a desire to backstab reiserfs, I have a personal policy to avoid reiserfs review, and recuse myself from any votes within program committee discussions regarding Hans Reiser. Being accused of taking unfair advantage of my volunteer activities is something I allow myself to get into once. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
