According to commit eb103a51640e ("reiserfs: Deprecate reiserfs"), the filesystem is slated to be removed in 2025. Remove it from the defconfig profiles now, as part of its deprecation process. Signed-off-by: Peter Lafreniere peter@xxxxxxxxThanks for your patch! Given these defconfigs enable ReiserFS as a module (not built-in), and that ReiserFS is still available upstream, and enabled by distros like Debian, I would like to keep it that way. The m68k defconfigs will be updated after the removal of ReiserFS, as part of the regular defconfig resync.
I still think that since ReiserFS is being removed soon enough and that there are a negligible number of users, it should be left out of defconfig builds. allmodconfig and custom configs (like Debian's) exist for a reason. But yours is a reasonable approach anyhow. Especially for an arch that is in the same position as some of the more exotic filesystems that you build as modules. Thanks for taking a look.
