To be fair, these credits really do seem to be for others. Some of
them are credits *and* ads, and at least one is an ad for work for
Hans Reiser and Namesys, but they are credits as well, and most of
them for other people.

I could be talked into eliminating the one for me, though I have always
found it a bit of a pain that people
are a bit eager to think that I am some sort of businessman who hired
russians because he wasn't abstractly inclined himself. They seem to
think I am some sort of businessman fool enough to invest into free
software, rather than a guy who wanted to build something and couldn't
get anyone to fund it so he paid for reiserfs to come into existence by
working a day job for 5.5 years. They often don't realize that I am
responsible for basic architectural features, like the idea of
aggregating small files together rather than always page aligning them,
or that the most controversial deep design changes of V4 versus V3 were
mine.
Probably the current one mentioning me needs more work, as it doesn't
really say all this, sigh.
