Reiser4 release date and status

Hello,
 
I noticed the "REISER4 RELEASED!" statement in
http://www.namesys.com/download.html and wonder when it did get released
and what its status now. 
 
The web page seems to have last been updated August 5, 2004 and the
warning still says "but until a program has seen a few million real
users you should not use it for a mission critical server."
 
Does this warning still hold ?
 
Or has Reisfer4 now passed the million-user test ?
 
Regards,
Danny

It is hard to say. I think it has not.

it is released but from my experience the latest changes that were 
necessary to prepare for inclusion into the vanilla kernel have 
destabilized the code somewhat.

i'd say this warning still holds for mission-critical servers. it's ok 
for desktop use and for testing and development purposes. i may add that 
the warning is true for about any software that is released, for example 
you need not be the first one to adapt apache 2.2 on a mission-critical 
server either.

kind regards,
