We have a guy named Nate Diller, who probably could fix VFS up pretty nicely if Namesys did not have him earning the consulting income the rest of the team lives on (he is doing io scheduler work at the moment). That said, he would need a lot of time, and stopping reiser4 inclusion to await his work merely ensures his work will never happen.
