[lug] ReiserFS and 2.6 kernel

Hey all--

I've been running the 2.6 kernel for several months (just upgraded to 
2.6.2) and decided I should play around with ReiserFS because it's 
supposed to have some nifty features.

When I went to download it (http://www.namesys.com) I see a huge red 
banner warning:

"WARNING: do not use reiser4 for production system, do not keep any 
important data on reiser4. It is experimental yet."

The "stable" version of ReiserFS is for the 2.4 kernel family, which 
leads to my question: is there no way to use a dependable ReiserFS 
under the new kernel?  Should I wait until the new Reiser4 code is 
declared stable?  Any experience out there with Reiser under 2.6?

TIA,
Jeff
