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....
