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.
