#2I was a big fan of ReiserFS “back in the day”.
While many are no doubt aware of the trial and conviction for his wife’s murder, I find that almost nobody is aware that a successor (Reiser4) was also in development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiser4

I believe it is still in active development and they refuse to change the name for some odd reason. It’s like if kdenlive was named “Weinstein” wouldn’t you want to change it?

I mean, I get it. I truly do, but part of me hates this idea of names being "burned".
This name is a direct link to the person, and he should not be immortalised like that. But other cases (CockroachDB is one) I think people go overboard with getting offended at names.
Names typically have power when we only associate them with a single thing. If we have many things with similar names then one of them being terrible, no good, or awful does not directly come to mind when the word arises.

Like, because they’re repulsed by cockroaches?

#6I found it very useful for transparent partition compression a few years ago (on a bootable usb stick).
ZFS takes more system memory.
Nowadays I would consider F2FS compression.

To be perfectly frank, there’s no getting around the fact that a convicted murderer designed this filesystem, so… I don’t really see why changing it would make much of a difference.
I don’t really get the “burned names” thing; it verges on “cancel culture” (which, from my distant cultural remove, strikes me as rather insane).
I carry a surname uncomfortably close to that of widely-known Nazi Reichsminister, and in both Germany and Italy (countries I herald from) it is not uncommon for several acquaintances to have surnames with sinister historic overtones.
It just happens. People don’t think too much about it.

I agree in principle but in practice and where you’re ‘selling’ something, why rub people’s noses in it if you don’t have to.

But with this name there is a 0.1% chance in any enterprise setting that managers would accept usage of such a DB. At least as long as it's not as mainstream as maybe Redis or MongoDB. (If something is popular enough, the name is to be accepted)

I have my roots in Germany and Italy where it’s pretty common to either have or know people who have “historically notorious” surnames, and therefore the whole idea of “burning names” never caught on (fortunately, I might add).
