I think all that is happening is openSUSE is dropping support for reiserfs (Which I fondly remember running SUSE 6.4 on recycled hard drives, even one that was clunking, using reiserfs) but I don't think that it will be maliciously removed from the kernel.
Agree completely. There is simply no reason.
That would prevent yast from converting the partitions in the first place. If you can't read a partition you can't convert it.
This conversion idea seems a pretty odd and risky thing to attempt - fiddling people's data, needing extra space, backup etc.
It sounds like a lot of work for the yast/installation team as well, as you said it's risky, I don't know the structure of the reiser file system but it would need to be converted into a similar structured file system or it would require a lot of spare space to backup the system and then copy over to a new partition. This would be a show stopper for users without enough space if a reliable partition converter hasn't been created.
