We haven't supported ReiserFS on new installations since Leap 42.1 (Nov 2015)
That's almost 2 years ago, which is also 8 years after openSUSE stopped using ReiserFS by default and almost 6 years after the bankruptcy of Namesys, the only organisation backing ReiserFS.
The organization maybe bankrupt, but the support and the development continues.
It should be no surprise to anyone that all support for ReiserFS will be withdrawn in Leap 15 (2018). It's a long overdue reflection of a simple reality that has been true for almost a decade now.
That will be a very sad decision.
That will mean no supported openSUSE version will support ReiserFS with the end of Leap 42.3 support (expected Jan 31 2019).
That will be almost a decade after we started stepping away from ReiserFS - I therefore have little sympathy for any suggestion that this is somehow producing anyone any extra work.
But if you still haven't gotten rid of that cursed mess of a filesystem in any of your environments, you still have over another year to find & contribute solutions if the work the YaST team have already done is insufficient for you.
Sorry, but it is a beautiful filesystem. This is wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
