As for this "we are all too grand to be bothered with money to feed our families" business, building a system in which those who contribute can find a way to be rewarded is what managers do.

Using guilt as an argument in a technical discussion is a flashing red sign that says "I have no technical rebuttal"
If reiser4 is delayed enough, for reasons that have nothing to do with its needs, and without it having encumbered anyone else, it won't be ahead of the other filesystems when it ships.
What delay? This is open source. There is nothing stopping you from worldwide distribution of the coolest Linux filesystem in the world.
