Having had reiserfs3 corrupt files on me, and XFS crash with OOM
problems (which I believe were fixed in later 2.6 kernels), I am
sticking with ext3, which so far hasn't given me problems even when I do
stupid things (like terminate a resize part way through when a cisco pix
dropped my ssh connection).

I just can't see reiserfs4's new features as anything I care about.
ext3devel/ext4 on the other hand is actually adding stuff I can imagine
being useful.
