Very interesting to read. I remember doing reasearch back then around 2005 or so which filesystem I should use on my gentoo installation and with a lot of small files it seemed raiserfs to be the best for my use case. So I started using it.
Later I heard about what the guy did and I figured I will need to switch next time I reinstall it because that guy won't be able to fix critical bugs from inside the prison.
I love that the issue is not using a tool made by a murderer but that he's not going to be a reliable maintainer lol
