Good luck with those. :)
I finally looked at this on 2.5.59. The fs menu certainly needs some help/work, so I'd like to see you keep plugging away at this. I didn't see much feedback -- was there feedback? Maybe on a different subject/thread? A newer version that I missed?

I find it odd that "help" in a Kconfig file can be spelled "help" or "---help---", but "--help--" leads to errors.

I expected to just see the filesystems listed in alpha order, but I don't have a problem with the groupings that you have made for them.
