If Gentoo can die off, ReiserFS is doomed (was Re: Reiser FS or ext3?)

[Jeffrey Watts]

There's a flaw with your reasoning.

You're assuming that Big Brother would put a backdoor of some kind into
devices like that marked "Secure Deletion".  However, if you're going to be
Tin-Foil Hat Man you should be assuming that EVERY device has a Big Brother
backdoor.

Thus your only real choice is to live in a cave and bang rocks together.
