Could reiserfsprogs display volume labels when doing fsck upon boot?

[Wiktor Wandachowicz <wiktorw@people.pl>]

Recently I've changed a filesystem on one of my patitions from ext3 to 
reiserfs 3.6.

All of my partitions have labels (hint: "mke2fs -L") so at boot I can easily see
which partitions are fsck-ed. So while reformatting my last partition /dev/hda8
as reiserfs 3.6, I've labeled it too (hint: "mkreiserfs -l").

Alas, upon boot reiserfsck never displays a volume label set this way, only:

Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x307 of format 3.6 with standard journal

While ext2/ext3 fsck displays a neat message for every partition it checks, like:

BOOT: clean, 62/297256 files, 60311/594405 blocks


So, I wanted to ask you: is adding such a functionality to reiserfsck a good idea?
I've tried to add it myself and it turned out to be four lines in one source file
(well, two lines actually doing the job, because one line is a comment and another
one contains a curly bracket). I have a small patch against reiserfsprogs-3.6.19
(applicable to the 3.6.18 and 3.6.17) ready to be sent.

Now my reiserfsck tests if volume label exists, and in such case displays it like:

SPARE: Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x307 of format 3.6 with standard journal


And yes, I know it's cosmetic :-)

But for me it's nice to have. This way my system behaves in a more consistent way.
Maintainers I asked from my distribution suggested to ask my question at the source.
What is your opinion then, reiserfs people?
