I have used Reiserfs since RH 7.0 and it has worked
fine since then. You don't need RH to bless a RPM in
order for it to work. You just need to be able to
trust the developers or be able to asses their work. I
have since moved to ext3, but only because it is
officially supported, not because reiserfs didn't
work.

Yeah, it doesn't have as many cool features as ext3,
but it is pretty well tested.
