Time to fork, I think. Yes, Resier is "just a name", but in this case, 
it's the name of a (convicted) murderer. Yes, I know that the courts can 
convict the innocent all too well. From the point of view of 
"marketability" though, I don't think the ReiserFS has much of a long 
term hope without a fork that can be pointed to by VARs to show a 
certain degree of separation.

It's a terrible situation, no matter how you cut it. I feel terrible for 
their kids. :(
