I'm not sure whether this was discussed before (I mean recently, it might have been brought up a long time ago but a lot has changed since).
Althought reiser4 still has not accepted by Linus, it seems it's fairly stable and very popular. I've just had a look at the reiser4 patch [1] and it seems it does not modify the kernel in a way which could disrupt its normal opration. Mostly it's symbols exporting, only the code fs/fs-writeback.c is actually modified but in my view those changes does not affect the original behaviour of the kernel. You have to admit that Arch's kernel package has many more complex patches. I'm not saying that we should add reiser4 support to the installer etc. Just make users life easier, save their time. If I'm right (and I might not since I'm obviously not a kernel hacker) inclusion of reiser4 wouldn't drop stability of the kernel nor affect any other subsystem.
