The grub maintainer's stance was that reiser 4 support would not be
included in grub until it was included in gentoo-sources, not any kernel
in portage. The grub maintainer has been AWOL for the last 9 months or
so however, so i guess it's now up to the base-system herd. I was under
the impression that feature-adding patches should be sent upstream.
I still think it's retarded to have a reiser 4 boot partition, but
whatever stirs your pot. ;P
