Hans Reiser started a campaign to get into Linus's kernel several months
before 2.4 came out, and everyone screamed, not while we are in the
final weeks of 2.3.xxx - which turned into months. Linus told me in July
last year that it would go into 2.4.1, and it did. The fact that it had
had several months air time in a major distribution (Suse) probably had
a lot to do with it.

We have not yet asked distributors or Linus to take the code, but things
are starting to happen, and we will probably be asking Linus soon.
