Well I think I said, I wouldn't be in favour of renaming reiser3, also for above reasons (although I didn't mention them).
I am in favour of renaming reiser4 exactly because it is not yet in and naming a filesystem after its author is not as automatic as putting the name of the singer on a record sleeve.
And I do give a dog's turd about what Hans might think about this.
It won't be my decision, anyway....
