Does anyone know if reiser4 has the XATTRs added to handle selinux now?

It didn't last time I looked at reiser4. reiserfs (3) is also broken again for SELinux as of 2.6.14 and later.

Reiser4 has the right structures to store things like XATTRs without stinking (unlike reiser3). Unfortunately, Resier4's developers were told that their preferred files-as-directories interface for extended attributes would be included in the mainline kernel around the time hell freezes over. This has resulted in the code being pulled, and extended attribute support in reiser4 has been left to bit rot.
Attention on bringing it back will be given once reiser4 makes it into the mainline kernel... which is a sane ordering of priorities.
Frankly, somethinglike selinux attrs on tmpfs would be a lot more important..

SELinux attributes on tmpfs have been around for some time. They were needed for udev with a tmpfs /dev.
