In theory, I think, it is supposed to be like that: user designes his application. He has some requirements to directories he stores data in. If he is reading reiserfs mailing lists he should be aware of reiser4 plugins and implement his application so that if reiser4 is available - he chooses for his directory a plugin with properties which match his requirements more. So far, I think you can choose directory plugin on mkfs time.
