Adding Viacheslav Dubeyko to Cc, he's at least been reviewing patches for HFS and HFS+ somewhat recently. The linux-m68k list may have some users dual-booting old MacOS.
HFS/HFS+ is also used by PowerPC users on PowerMac hardware for both exchanging data between MacOS and Linux as well as for booting Linux using GRUB with a HFS/HFS+ /boot partition. Debian's grub-installer creates an HFS partition from which GRUB loads the kernel and the initrd [1]. In order to be able to update kernel and initrd, the running Linux system needs to be able to read/write HFS/HFS+ partitions which is used for the /boot partition. Adrian
