People say this from time to time, yet I have been running ext4 on my root directory of my laptop since July 2008. The only problem I've had since then is one time it would not mount on boot. I merely had to fsck it from a live media an then it was ok (nothing lost or currupted). But that was a long time ago when it was still ext4dev. And I've had numerous crashes and battery depletions on the laptop without incident. So the pre-alpha FUD that some people are spreading is either not true or I just happen to be the luckiest ext4 user in the world :-).
