I don't see anythink wrong with it.  You may want to note that Linus
hasn't made a comment and that Reiser's journaling filesystem wasn't due
out until next year.  It's not proprietary or anything, just open source
as usual.  I've been meaning to tinker with it on a spare drive.  I
don't think the "roadmap" was meant as a rulebook, just an indication of
what to expect in the future.  These people (maximum-pc) are just
looking for some attention.  Turbo-Linux has been doing a lot of stuff
w/clustering that's not standard kernel issue stuff.  It all will be
soon though.
