Yeah I agree, (sorry for the previous one-liner, must remember to read 
thread before replying...)

I have no particular love for reiserfs, but unless it's causing some sort
of big burden to anaconda maintainers, I don't see any reason to remove
it, it just limits people's choices.  Putting it behind the boot-time
option makes it very clear that it's not a standard operation, but hey
if you know what you're doing, go for it ...
