Reiserfs is still supported by the 14.04 kernel, thus existing
installations will continue to work a be upgradable.

You can use 12.04 LTS installers to perform installations and upgrade
to latest trusty. Also note that 12.04 LTS is receiving ongoing
support and security updates including optionally 14.04 LTS kernel and
X stack.

If you have bugs about XFS and/or btrfs, please file them to upstream,
as it is reasonable for them to be addressed by 2019.
