The point is that if there is corruption in the filesystem then the
immutable flag may have be switched on accedently.
You notice this on ext2 when an inode has been corrupted. There's a 50%
chance the immutable bit may have been set, leading people to wonder why
they can't delete the file even as root.
I don't know whether reiserfs has such a bit though.
