In my case, additionally, as a reiserfs user (yes, it's old-times, but it works and it works great on fully encrypted systems) a new install is not possible, because there is no more option for reiserfs.
You could still install on reisefs, it just takes a bit of manual intervention. Once the installation system is booted, you swap out to a console and create the reisefs filesystems you need. I guess you might need to do the encryption stuff too, dunno. Once that's done, you swap back to YaST and continue.
Or do as I do. I never even begin an installation until both partitioning is done as I wish, and filesystems have been created on the partitions to be used. This is simple for me, because all my systems are multiboot, but when I first use a new or wiped HD, I do the same, simply from a live media boot instead of a HD boot, as any non-multibooter could do. Another option is to prep a new HD via temporary installation in some other PC, so no live media boot needed.
And as seen on this and other lists, the new defaut file system is only for people who enjoy to spend their time repairing their unaccessible machines every once in a while.
So use ext4 instead.
I have many TW and Leap installations. All are on EXT3 or EXT4. Some defaults I agree with and use, others I don't. The Linux world provides options not found elsewhere.
