This is absolutely false!  XFS 1.0.1 includes a 2.4.3 kernel based on
Red Hat's 7.1 2.4.3 kernel and a Linus based 2.4.5.  We are also
releasing patches for kernels since then and are tracking Linus' tree
pretty closely.  If you want to stay bleeding edge, check out the CVS
tree and update that whenever you see a TAKE message on the linux-xfs
mailling list.

As far as stability goes, XFS is stable.  The 1.0.1 release when through
a full QA cycle.  And for the Red Hat 7.1 users, XFS 1.0.1 has an
install ISO available.
