    It was just pulled, there were several bugs in it that weren't trivial. Hans
    Reiser said to expect at least 6 weeks before the code review was completed

    From the discussion on the kernel mailing list, it isn't at all certain that
    it will be included at all, in its present form.

    You can't upgrade, reiser4 isn't related to reiser3 in anything other than
    name. There is no upgrade path other than backup - reformat - restore

    and no, now would not be a good time to install it on a machine you're
    actually using, unless you're doing it for testing purposes
