Log:
Kill off ReiserFS as it is no longer supported, for obvious reasons.
It's not so obvious since the fs worked and could've been useful for
people migrating from ancient linux.
And not just that. Simply having ability to boot off Live CD and read
some exotic filesystem is cool. What was wrong with ReiserFS, was it
broken or something? (NTFS support is another great loss of ours.)
Well, I recall it was the only GPL'd filesystem that survived SMP but
apart from that, the fs format is not really used anymore, it didn't
have much sense to keep it.
As pointed out by Conrad, sysutils/fusefs-lkl is the way to go.
And then ... IANAL, but given the situation in other camps it seems
sane to keep away from anything involving the words "GPL" and
"filesystems" in the same sentence.
Pedro.
