Reiser4 is going to obsolete V3 in a few weeks. V3 will be retained for

About three years ago, I switched from reiserfs to ext3. And still, I
have some old reiserfs partitions around that I use. Either I'm quite
unusual or reiser3 will stay around for a while. :)

You are not unusual at all. I switched from 2.4 kernels to 2.6 several months ago, and yet I still have production boxes running 2.2 kernels... Not that changing kernel code would affect me, since those boxes are also running 4 year old kernels... And no, I won't tell you their IP's ;-)

You are right though that OpenBSD does some things better.

For sure. And still, I use and develop for Linux.

It is also worth pointing out that "linux" (aka the kernel) is quite different from *BSD, especially with OpenBSD, it should be more properly compared to a distribution, and most distributions do run on a different release cycle than does Linus.

Cheers,
Paul
