The grub maintainer's stance was that reiser 4 support would not be |
| 14 |
included in grub until it was included in gentoo-sources, not any kernel |
| 15 |
in portage. The grub maintainer has been AWOL for the last 9 months or |
| 16 |
so however, so i guess it's now up to the base-system herd. I was under |
| 17 |
the impression that feature-adding patches should be sent upstream. |

I still think it's retarded to have a reiser 4 boot partition, but |
