Hm. I think Reiser is for those "make sure you know what aou're doing". I have myself some partitions on Reiser, but I'm not so sure I would base critical stuff on it.
I'm too maxed-out at the moment to go trolling through the kernel change logs to see whether anything might have changed in dir_index in the last three years, but it might be interesting.
