Like I said, reiser *IS* included already, at least I sure thought it
was.

Though I don't agree with the general sentiment here - our job ("our" is
intended broadly, including upstream and non Red Hat developers) is to
make sound technical decisions, not throw a bunch of possibly-working
crap on a disk.

But yes, Fedora tries to offer more stuff and more options than a
supported product could reasonably offer. And what Fedora Core doesn't
offer, Fedora Extras certainly can.
