Well, yes, and it did. The problem was that if you turned off ACLs,
it didn't work; only one or two variants of about 6 or 8 ways to
configure reiserfs stopped working. Given that, I can't see how Hans
is complaining about lack of QC. Nobody is going to test patches
against every possible kernel configuration; that's why we do an RC,
so that we can get a lot of different configs tested.

Cheers,
