A developer's personal life (of crisis) does not in any way change  
the value of their software.  So what if the guy is in a rather  
serious amount of bother?  Even if they lock him up and throw away  
the key with no access to computer, I *SURE* someone will pick up the  
code/project and continue with the Reiser file system.  That's the  
beauty of open source software.

Please - let's not degenerate into a forum of rumour, speculation and  
innuendo.  I always figured Linux users were in the higher  
percentiles of the intelligence range compared with the general  
population... please don't ruin that illusion just yet :)

Cheers,

James
