ReiserFS has been considered deprecated for 19 months since commit
eb103a51640e ("reiserfs: Deprecate reiserfs"). However, there are
several architectures that still build it into their defconfig kernels.

As ReiserFS will be removed in 2025, delete all ReiserFS-related options
from defconfig files before the filesystem's removal.

This is essentially equivalent to deleting the filesystem now. Why do
this? Is there such a hurry?

This is not equivalent to deleting the filesystem. The filesystem can still
be configured into kernels, and few distros use a defconfig kernel anyway.

Most people who compile kernels use defconfigs though.  Distros are a
tiny minority if you look at builds.

Again: why do you want this?
