choice of ext3 or reiserfs for native install?

I understand that you are keeping reiserfs for the rootfs images because of how better reiserfs is at lowering dist usage with small files.
But would it be possible to give users a choice of ext3 or reiserfs if they are doing a native installer?
I have actually hacked a gentooxinstaller file and copied the needed binary files from the initrd.gz from MCE since it had the binary which could format for ext2.? i have tested it on a harddrive and it worked.. Though i didn't do extensive testing. Just wondering if this would be possible?
Also isn't reiserfs the reason you can't upgrade beyond 2.4.22 for the xbox?
