No quadruple check, but every patch going to Linus should get at
least some basic testing and it's definitely suppose to compile at
least in one .config combination.
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.
