postgresql and reiserfs

Is anyone up with database features in reiserfs (reiser4) with postgresql 8.x?

I heard that reiser4 is not yet stable. And that there is a chance that it wont be since its
author is in detention. Most of the recommendations that I've seen are to use good-old-reliable
EXT3 which keeps your data safe.

Also, SuSE announced that they will be switching to ext3 in their next
SLES releases:

Red Hat, major player in Enterprise game, is supporting ext* for years.
reiserfs is not enabled by default.

So, IMHO, since less people will be using reiser, I would not use that
in my installations.

Also ext2 is preferred on many installations, especially when people
want to avoid journals.

As I understand resier4, its features are irrelevant if your filesystem
will mostly be holding postgres data.

If i was a betting man, I would guess that (currently being developed)
ext4 will win the filesystem popularity contest at some point in the
future, and will probably dominate enterprise linux installations.
