ext4 is in the current kernel source, but is still considered under 
development. No Linux distribution that I know of has yet adopted it as 
its "native" file system; as somebody pointed out, Fedora 9 lets you 
optionally install it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

Given that this started as a thread on Hans Reiser, it's possible that 
you really meant to ask about the fate of reiser4. That file system is 
not part of the main Linux kernel sources; source code used to be 
available on namesys.com while it was still up, but the state of the 
code base is unclear given Reiser's legal entanglement. At least one 
Namesys programmer is still working on it; see 
http://chichkin_i.zelnet.ru/namesys/ See 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiser4 for more background on reiser4.
