It was just declared stable. It is not. It has to prove itself= to=20 be stable in the next 6 to 12 month. Earlier than that it is not stable. But if you look at all the problems reported on lkml you should come to the= =20 conclusion, that both ext3 and 4 are unstable. It is just wrong to pile new= =20 features unto an aging platform instead of making the cut, put one into=20 maintanence mode and start from a clean state. Some did it. extX never did.= =20 With the bad results easily visible for everybody who wants to see.
