It depends on your definition of stable. It is stable for ordinary use,
and as far as I know people are using it for home directories for some
time already. It is still possible to crash it under stress test if one
is inventive enough and has enough time to waste.

my definition of stable is when namesys.com doesent say "reiser4 final
testing, and will ship soon!" :)
you know, when its marked stable :)

do you have a small idea of when? i have a 300gb hd waiting for
partitioning just because i want reiser4 ;)

How many bugs were fixed since the last snapshot?
Isn't it time for a new snapshot for 2.6.1 (or 2.6.1-mm)?
I use Reiser4 as for everything on my desktop PC for several months, 
without any problems.
(currently 2.6.0 test11, Gentoo linux).
What's the status of compression support?

I use it as root, but not as boot. I installed gentoo on reiserfs (v. 
3.6), then compiled new kernel with reiser4 support in it, rebooted, 
created reiser4 partition, copied everything there and added entry for 
it in grub.conf (with corresponding root= flag). One more reboot and 
things are twice as fast (at least copying /usr/src with kernel sources 
is 2x faster on reiser4 than on reiserfs).
I never had a problem with reiser4 except test7 kernel where there were 
slight interactivity problems when copying large sets of files.
