Why is it selectable then?

Yes, I know there's needs to support borked legacy filesystems that were mkfs'ed
before the problem was recognized.  That means fsck.reiserfs needs to know about
it - but mkfs.reiserfs??  Seen in the Fedora Core devel tree as of tonight:

% rpm -q reiserfs-utils
reiserfs-utils-3.6.19-2
% strings /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs  | grep -i rupasov
rupasov
  -h | --hash rupasov|tea|r5       hash function to use by default
