Reiserfs[34] support for GRUB 2 is quite high on my todo list.  But I am
a bit worried about reiser4.  As far as I know it has plugins and I
wonder if I also have to implement all plugins too and how much work
it will be to maintain this.

I hope someone can tell me what would be the amount of work is to
implement and maintain such reiserfs 4 implementation, for example
compared to the complexity of other filesystems.

Thanks,
Marco
