I have no particular issue against adding this option, but the help
message is misleading. The miscellaneous submenu also contains (mainly)
embedded filesystems such as jffs2, cramfs, romfs and eCrypt which are
native to Linux.
The help message should be changed, or perhaps these filesystems moved
into a new submenu of their own.
