I seen your question on both the fedora lst and this test list. I did 
not hear any mention that reiserfs was removed. I guess the most sure 
way is to download the FC5 Test 1 disks when it is released and see if 
the installer is happy with the reiserfs.

There was talk that xfs needed selinux disabled, so it should be 
supported as in the past.

For FC3 to FC5 upgrade, things might be a bit harder because of packages 
being transferred over to fedora Extras which used to be included in 
Fedora core. These packages will not get upgraded until you run yum 
update after the install is completed. Also, there are a lot of Java 
pckages in FC5 which were not available in FC3. You might need to check 
the release notes in FC4 for package additions as well as FC5 release 
notes to see if there are any packages which you desire. On upgrades, 
they will not be added.
