Who says it? What it says? You do realize that it is impossible to comment on such statements?

"Source write protected" means device is write protected.
From https://software.opensuse.org/package/reiserfs:
reiserfs Reiser File System utilities
This package includes utilities for making the file system (mkreiserfs), checking for consistency (reiserfsck), and resizing (resize_reiserfs).
There is no official package available for openSUSE Leap 15.3
So it seems they want you to be able to read your reiserfs partitions in order to turn them into something else, but not to keep them running as such.
Shouldn't something as crucial as this be included in the release notes? Now I have a laptop that is not fully running, with a failed upgrade, and in which to convert a partition, which is an operation that takes a full day. (backup, reformat, restore, from external disk via USB 2, with rsync -c) And decide what filesystem to use instead of reiserfs, a decision that I had postponed till Leap 16 and that I'm now forced to take unawares. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
