   Reiser has some opinions regarding the political and economic nature
   of Linux development. The views may have merit, or none, but that's
   completely unrelated to the nature of the code he's
   producing/produced.

While I agree with this in principle in general (although I wonder how
much of the code is actually Han's; it seems that he's managed to con a
bunch of programmers to do his work for him), I remain concerned that we
not set a precedent that the way to get something into the kernel is to
act like a paranoid asshole. That to me would be rewarding the wrong
sets of behaviour.
