Linux guru and convicted murdered Hans Reiser was handed a prison sentence of 15-to-life Friday, putting a final capstone on a case that began as a murder mystery, and ended with Reiser leading police to a makeshift grave a short distance from where he strangled his wife.

I agree his crime is terrible, and I agree he should be punished severely.
But I disagree that he's replaceable. Some people are just more talented than others at certain things. Reiser happens to be particularly talented at designing and implementing filesystems. It's named after him for a reason...
But that certainly doesn't mean he should get off lightly.
