ext2 has been a stable production release for many years, but it has has XATTR 
and SE Linux support added.  I don't think that there is any reason not to do 
the same for ReiserFS.

New features can't wait for everyone to use new file systems.  Hans has 
decided not to support XATTRs, and as a consequence of that people who want 
to use SE Linux will make much less use of ReiserFS.  This also impacts the 
ability of Red Hat to support ReiserFS.
