No.

ReiserFS always chage its binary representation on disk. ReiserFS always
miss rock-stable quota, fsck and conversion tools. So supporting
ReiserFS could be a pain for RH. Thus - no ReiserFS by default.

stable" it is not the same like 1.000.000 peoples (testers) says "it's
stable".

I underestand what Hans Reiser wish but I need more than his wishes.
