Hi Peter,

    Some hobbyist targets like m68k and alpha may prefer to keep all filesystems
    available until total removal, but others like arm and UML have no need for
    ReiserFS to be built unless specifically configured.
As UML is used a lot for testing, isn't it actually counter-productive
to remove ReiserFS from the UML defconfig?  The less testing it
receives, the higher the chance of introducing regressions.
