You misrepresent reality when you use the word "support" to suggest that rieser gets an equal priority of developer time inside Fedora Core when compared to ext3. I've seen no indication that rieser bugs get much if any dedicated engineering time from Core developers. Rieser support in Fedora is considered experimental and is delibrately hidden from novice users to avoid unexpected and unsolvable problems.
Be serious. There are several types of users. Exposing novice users to filesystem choices that the Core developers are not focusing their manpower on is irresponsible and you know it.
User's have a choice... they can choose to enable rieser via a cmdline argument at installer boot time. The class of users who know enough to know they prefer reiser can quite easily enabled it by using the associated installer boot time options Filesystem bugs are not shallow bugs.. and its absolutely irresponsible to expose low level filesystem choices by default thatwhich
If Fedora developers didn't want to give users a choice.. they could disable riser support completely... so stop throwing around the insanity that user's don't have a choice. If users want to make an informed choice... its there. If users want to be lazy.. they get ext3.
