It is supported, however patch is not yet sent to GRUB maintainer. The
reason is that, reiser4 support for GRUB is based on our libreiser4 and
its interface is under development now. Yet another reason, GRUB
maintainer had some troubles with moving to another country some time
ago and was not able to accept any emails.

I thought, that it is supported good enough :) Can you be more specific
on this?

SuSE users use grub and reiserfs by default.

Yep. Speaking about reiserfs support more specifically, I can say, that
GRUB supports reiserfs 3.5-3.6 and with relocated journal in both modes:
with using stage_1.5 and without using it. Using stage 1_5 means, that
GRUB is able to read kernel image from reiserfs even if it was fully of
tails (like it is possible in reiser4).
