Well, because of his classy hair-style of course. Seriously, Linux is not managed by a committee. There is nobody to appoint Official File System Reviewers of Her Majesty. Everything here (including your credentials as a file system designer) is self-proclaimed. > > How about review by benchmark instead?

I am afraid it will sound picky, but 10 month ago you said you are planning to replace benchmarks on the namesys.com with fairer ones: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=reiserfs&m=109368686019301&w=2 Last time I checked, http://namesys.com/benchmarks.html still features only mongo runs with overwrite/modify phases off and with all operations done in readdir order (most favorable mode for reiser4). > > Hans The Mad > Nikita.
